Quite a statue of him.
One of the museums here will have an exhibit on him this summer.
He’s very popular.
I wonder if it is supposed to be a likeness of him -at some stage of his life – or if artistic licence has been made. Lifting heavy blocks of marble and stone have worked some magic on his muscles.
I think he may have been somewhat embellished.
