EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting "Hercules and Omphale" by Luigi Garzi, an Italian artist from the Roman era. Created between 1700 and 1710, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures a remarkable 97.8 x 134.6 cm (38 1/2 x 53 in. ) without its frame. The artwork depicts the mythological tale of Hercules' enslavement to Queen Omphale of Lydia as a punishment for his crimes. In this scene, we witness Hercules dressed in feminine attire while spinning wool under Omphale's watchful gaze. The contrast between their roles is striking; it symbolizes both power dynamics and gender reversal. Garzi's meticulous brushwork brings life to every detail, capturing the intricate folds of fabric and conveying emotions through facial expressions. The composition is balanced yet dynamic, drawing our eyes towards the central figures while incorporating subtle elements that enhance the narrative. Displayed within a grand frame measuring 119.4 x 154.9 x 7.3 cm (47 x 61 x 2 7/8 in. ), this artwork demands attention with its sizeable presence and artistic brilliance. As part of Liszt Collection's vast array of prints celebrating art history, this print allows us to appreciate Garzi's talent from centuries ago in our own modern setting. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within your personal collection, this piece serves as a timeless reminder of classical mythology and artistic mastery at its finest
