From Gaia's Wrath to Defeat by Zeus

The ancient sources give differing accounts of the origin of the monster Typhon. In both well-known versions, the primordial goddess Gaia is connected with him. According to Hesiod, Typhon is a son of Gaia and Tartarus. In another tradition, Hera brings him forth after asking the earth and other primordial powers for support out of anger at Zeus. The Veronese sculpture shows Typhon with countless serpent heads, dragon wings and a mighty serpent lower body. In the battle of the gods, Typhon is ultimately defeated by Zeus and, according to one tradition, buried beneath the volcano Mount Etna in Sicily, from where he repeatedly tries to break out. Typhon was also associated with mighty and destructive storm winds. The Typhon sculpture is 23 cm tall, 18.5 cm wide and 14.5 cm deep. It belongs to the Studio Collection by Veronese and shows the roaring monster with serpent heads, dragon wings and a serpentine lower body. The figurine is made of high-quality polyresin, was bronzed and coloured by hand with subtle accents. This makes the sculpture not only a striking eye-catcher, but also an extraordinary gift for anyone interested in Greek mythology and the world of the gods.
