Antaeus’s Contest depicts the accelerated aging of a detail of a 16th century sgraffito rendering from the facade of Nelahozeves Castle, just north of Prague. Sgraffito is a decorative technique that involves scratching into a surface to reveal a contrasting layer and color underneath. The surface’s exposure to the harsh elements causes continuous erosion. As a nod to the Herculean task of art conservation, the scene selected for this piece depicts Hercules defeating Antaeus, son of Poseidon, in a wrestling match. A portion of all proceeds from the sale of this NFT will directly finance the restoration of the physical sgraffito on Nelahozeves Castle.
