L'Ercole di Farnese disegnato in due vedute opposte. ... Le Hercule de Farnese dessiné sous deux points de vue opposéz. Quelques antiquaires pretendent que ce beau colosse a été sculpté par Glicon d'Athens à l'envie d'un autre, qui se voit dans la même cour a main gauche . Il a dix pieds, et demi de hauteur; on croit qu'il fu transporté a Rome parmi les risches depouilles de Siracouse après que Marcellus eut subjugué cette ville celebre, ainsi que le raconte Tite Live ... Cavalier Giuseppe Vasi diseg.ò e incise l'anno 1773.
