A 22 century old marble statue attributed to Lysippus or a pupil, known as the Guarnacci Hercules, was buried for fifteen years in a London warehouse and moved to Earl's Court for an ancient art show this summer. Its complex history traces to Rome, the 1700s Clement XI era, Mgr Mario Guarnacci, and a long London showroom presence with past litigation over damages from a Paris return.
