About the piece
Created around 1612 by Flemish master Joos de Momper the Younger, this oil on panel work depicts the mythological theft of Geryon's oxen by Hercules. The composition is a classic example of the early 17th-century panoramic landscape, characterized by earthy tones, a high horizon line, and a masterfully rendered atmosphere that balances narrative action with the vastness of the natural world.
