"Hercules and Omphale" is a notable painting by Swiss neoclassical artist Angelica Kauffmann, created in the late 18th century. The artwork is a representation of a classical mythological subject, depicting the legendary hero Hercules and the Lydian queen Omphale. In the myth, Hercules is enslaved to Omphale as a punishment for a crime, and during his servitude, he is subjected to performing traditionally feminine tasks, while Omphale wears his lion skin and wields his club.

Kauffmann's rendition of the subject is significant for its exploration of gender roles and power dynamics, themes that were innovative for her time. The painting showcases her skill in capturing the emotional nuances of her characters and her adept use of color and composition to convey the narrative. As a prominent female artist in a male-dominated field, Kauffmann's work often reflected her unique perspective on the roles and representations of women in art and society.

The painting is an example of Kauffmann's contribution to the neoclassical movement, which sought to revive the classical ideals of beauty, harmony, and proportion. Her treatment of the Hercules and Omphale theme reflects the neoclassical emphasis on moral instruction and the elevation of the human spirit through the depiction of heroic antiquity.

"Hercules and Omphale" is part of Kauffmann's oeuvre that helped establish her reputation as a leading artist of her time. The painting is often discussed in the context of her broader impact on the art world, as well as the cultural and social implications of her work. It remains an important piece in the study of 18th-century art and the role of women artists in the history of neoclassicism.
