"Ercole e Onfale" is a notable painting by Giovanni Francesco Romanelli, an Italian Baroque painter who was active during the 17th century. The artwork depicts the mythological story of Hercules (Ercole in Italian) and Omphale (Onfale), derived from classical antiquity. In the myth, Hercules is enslaved to Omphale, the Lydian queen, as a punishment for a crime, and during his servitude, he is subjected to performing feminine tasks while Omphale wears his lion skin and carries his club.

Romanelli's interpretation of the subject is a testament to his skill in portraying mythological themes with elegance and a sense of drama. The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition, the fluidity of its figures, and the rich color palette typical of the Baroque period. Romanelli's work often reflects the influence of his teacher, Pietro da Cortona, and "Ercole e Onfale" is no exception, with its emphasis on movement and the play of light and shadow.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to Romanelli's mature period. The artwork is significant for its artistic merit and as an example of the cultural fascination with classical mythology during the Baroque era. It also offers insight into the gender dynamics and the reversal of traditional roles as interpreted by artists of the time.

"Ercole e Onfale" is held in high regard among Romanelli's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its stylistic qualities and its place within the broader context of 17th-century European art. The painting is an important piece for understanding the evolution of mythological representation in art and the enduring legacy of classical stories in shaping the artistic canon.
