"Hercules and Deianira" is a renowned painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonio del Pollaiuolo, also known as Antonio di Jacopo Benci. This work is a significant example of the Florentine painter's interest in the depiction of human anatomy and movement, as well as his engagement with mythological subjects. The painting portrays the legendary hero Hercules and his wife Deianira, characters from classical mythology whose tragic story was a popular subject during the Renaissance.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, but it is generally believed to have been produced in the latter half of the 15th century, a period when Pollaiuolo was active in Florence and known for his contributions to both painting and sculpture. The artwork is executed in tempera on wood, a common medium for Italian panel paintings of the time.

In "Hercules and Deianira," Pollaiuolo showcases his mastery of the human form through the muscular depiction of Hercules, reflecting the artist's interest in anatomical studies and the influence of classical sculpture. Deianira is often depicted in a state of distress or anticipation, alluding to the couple's tragic narrative in which Deianira, misled by the centaur Nessus, unwittingly causes Hercules' death with a poisoned garment.

The painting is notable for its dynamic composition and the use of perspective, which was a key development in Renaissance art. Pollaiuolo's work is characterized by a strong sense of linearity and attention to detail, which is evident in the intricate rendering of the figures and their attire.

"Hercules and Deianira" is part of Antonio del Pollaiuolo's broader oeuvre, which includes other mythological and religious works, and contributes to our understanding of the artistic innovations and cultural preoccupations of the Italian Renaissance. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic significance and is studied for its contribution to the development of Renaissance art, particularly in the context of the Florentine school.
