 | | Palamedes, Creugas and Damoxenus, the Combat of Theseus and the Centaur, and Hercules and Lichas may close the class of heroic compositions, although the catalogue might be swelled by the enumeration of various others, such as Hector and Ajax, and the statues of Washington, King Ferdinand of Naples, and others. |
 | | The group of Hercules and Lichas is considered as the most terrible conception of Canova's mind, and in its peculiar style as scarcely to be excelled. |
 | | Under the head of compositions of grace and elegance, the statue of Hebe takes the first place in point of date. |
