Oil on canvas representing Hercules and Omphale, entourage of Sebastiano Mazzoni, Venice late XVII
This highly prized subject of Greek and Roman mythology has known many variants and interpretations, having inspired Mannerist painting in Italy and France as well as the painting of artists in Venice, the scene therefore represents Hercules, distaff and spindle in hand, reduced to spin the wool because he is subjugated by the queen of Lydia, Omphale who, she, has put on her attributes: the lion skin of the Greek hero, of which we see here the legs and the club that she holds in a suggestive way... .
The two characters are surrounded by angels and rich draperies, the sensual power and the invoice of the painting are typical of Venetian painting from the end of the XVII and beginning of the XVIII.
This canvas is presented in "good" condition, with a style composition frame, measures: 98 by 122
the whole is of the most beautiful decorative effect
