About the piece
Painted in 1724 by François Lemoyne, this vibrant work captures the mythological moment when Hercules serves Queen Omphale. The composition is defined by its sweeping red drapery, luminous flesh tones, and the playful subversion of traditional gender roles through the exchange of attributes like the lion skin and spindle.
