"Hercules and Antaeus" is a notable work of art by the German Renaissance painter Hans Baldung Grien, created in 1530. This piece depicts the mythological encounter between the Greek hero Hercules and the giant Antaeus, a subject that has been interpreted by various artists throughout history. In the myth, Antaeus is a formidable opponent who draws his strength from contact with the earth, his mother. Hercules, realizing this, defeats Antaeus by lifting him off the ground and crushing him in the air, thus preventing him from regaining his strength.

Baldung Grien's rendition of this dramatic struggle is characterized by its dynamic composition and the vivid depiction of the physical exertion between the two figures. The painting showcases the artist's skill in portraying the human anatomy and the use of powerful contrasts of light and shadow to emphasize the intensity of the scene. The work is a reflection of Baldung Grien's interest in humanist themes and his ability to infuse traditional subjects with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth.

As a member of the Northern Renaissance, Hans Baldung Grien was known for his complex and sometimes enigmatic works, which often included themes of mythology, witchcraft, and the natural world. "Hercules and Antaeus" stands as a testament to his artistic legacy and his contribution to the body of Renaissance art that explored classical antiquity through a contemporary lens. The painting is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of a timeless mythological narrative.
