About the piece
Painted in 1911, this work by Émile Bernard depicts the mythological story of Hercules and Omphale. Bernard's late style, influenced by Venetian masters, is evident in the warm color palette, the intricate rendering of the leopard skin, and the luminous quality of the figures. The scene captures a moment of domestic role reversal, accompanied by a hovering cupid, set against a brooding, atmospheric sky.
