EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lucas Cranach the Elder's masterpiece, "Travaux d Hercule : Hercule et l hydre de Lerne - Hercules and the Lernaean Hydra". The painting depicts a thrilling scene from Greek mythology, where the mighty Hercules engages in an epic battle against the fearsome Lernaean Hydra. In this 16th-century artwork, we witness Hercules wielding a bludgeon club as he confronts the monstrous creature. With fire raging around them, both man and beast are locked in a fierce struggle for survival. This powerful image transports us back to ancient Greece, immersing us in its rich mythological tales. Lucas Cranach's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this Renaissance masterpiece. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of the fight and brings these mythical figures to life on canvas.
