About the piece
Painted by Luigi Garzi around 1705, this work illustrates the classical story of Hercules serving Queen Omphale. The composition features a rich interplay of gestures and textures, with the Queen draped in the hero's lion skin and the muscular Hercules adopting a more passive posture, all set against a backdrop of grand Roman-style architecture and fluttering putti.
