Evaluating articles

The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt is the article that I choose. Over viewing the article I think it can be work on a little more, it does have the enough information about the painting and the background, but they didn't talk much about any painting technique, Maybe a good change would be to replace the topic of Popular Culture with the painting technique. Throughout the article it has a neutral tone while reading it, a straight forward article about the painting. This article received a C-rating for the visual art and for the medicine, but for the medicine focus it got a low C-rating. And while looking at the talk page it's mostly about the medicine than the art aspect .

Final Article

Hercules of the Forum Boarium is one of two gilded bronze statues found on the site of the

for safe keeping in 1950 and remain there today. The Hercules of Forum Boarium was likely to have been a cult image of Temple of Hercules that stood by the ancient cattle market.

Description

The bronze sculpture is slightly over life-sized

Both sculptures display contrapposto, which also known as a typical style from Lysippos, where the figures’ weight is thrown entirely on one foot. Though their muscles are exaggerated, they stand in marked contrast to the bearded, burly and perhaps more familiar "Fairness Hercules".

Subject

The statue of Hercules from Forum Boarium is based on his twelve labors where he must bring back the Golden Apples of Hesperides to Eurystheus. Hercules found Prometheus during his search and freed him from his prison. In return, Prometheus told him where he can find the Golden Apples. The apples were guarded by a hundred-headed dragon named Ladon who could not be conquered by Hercules. In order to defeat Ladon, he needed the help of Atlas, the titan that held up the Earth and Heavens on his shoulder. Hercules managed to convince Atlas to help him get the apples, but in exchange, Hercules would have to carry the weight of the world while Atlas acquired the apples. When Atlas returned with the apples, he did not want to retake the weight of the world back. Hercules tricked Atlas by saying that he would gladly stay and hold up the world, but asked Atlas if he could take the weight again so he can adjust his cloak. Atlas took back the weight of the world and Hercules immediately picked up the Golden Apples and ran off ^[4].

History

The temple of the Forum Boarium in Rome is located by the

There are two ancient temples that the statue could have been displayed at: the temple located between Circus Maximus and the Church of Santa Maria and the temple of Hercules Ameliana. The statue of Hercules of the Theatre of Pompey, or also known as the statue of Hercules Inviticus, was discovered in 1864 near the Theatre of Pompey. This is the gilded, bronze statue of Hercules that is now located in the Vatican Rotunda.
