18TH-CENTURY VENETIAN PAINTER Hercules and Omphale with Cupids Oil on canvas. This interesting painting depicts an iconographic theme frequently explored in classical Greek mythology. In fact, this subject became very popular among many 18th-century artists. To atone for the murder of Iphitus, Hercules was sold as a humble slave to Queen Omphale. During this long period of servitude, the hero was forced to perform women’s work and even to wear women’s clothing. Omphale, on the other hand, in a reversal of roles, assumed Hercules’ identity, donning his lion skin and wielding his club. 90 x 100 cm.
