A photograph of a grotesque situated on Lichfield Cathedral in Lichfield, England. The photographs of these grotesques form part of a series. These sculptures are grotesques rather than gargoyles as gargoyles are intended to be part of the water drainage system from the rooftops of churches and cathedrals. It is not known what purpose the 'grotesques' serve but they certainly get ones imagination going. Some have amusing expressions whilst others are quite hideous.

In Greek mythology, the Erymanthian boar was a mythical creature. This Italian Renaissance marble statue which is free to view for the public in Piazza della Signoria, was completed by Florentine sculptor Baccio Bandinelli between 1525-1534. The boar represents the fourth labour of Heracles, which was to bring it alive to Eurystheus in Mycenae. When the king Eurystheus saw Hercules carrying the boar on his shoulders, he was frightened and hid himself in a bronze vessel.
