PINTOR VENECIANO DEL SIGLO XVIII Hércules y Onfale con cupidos Óleo sobre lienzo. Este interesante cuadro presenta un tema iconográfico abordado en numerosas ocasiones en la mitología griega clásica. De hecho, este tema llegó a ser muy apreciado por numerosos artistas del siglo XVIII. Hércules, para expiar el asesinato de Ifito, fue vendido como humilde esclavo a la reina Onfale. Durante este largo periodo de sumisión, el héroe se vio obligado a realizar tareas propias de las mujeres e incluso a vestir ropas femeninas. Onfale, por su parte, en una inversión de roles, se apropió de la identidad de Hércules, vistiendo su piel de león y empuñando su maza. 90 x 100 cm.
