"The Labors of Hercules" is a series of engravings by the German artist Hans Sebald Beham (1500–1550), created in the 16th century. Beham, a prominent figure of the Little Masters—a group of German artists known for their small, intricate engravings—was celebrated for his fine work in printmaking and illustration. The series depicts the mythological twelve labors undertaken by the Greek hero Hercules, a subject that has been a popular theme in art for centuries, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and the virtues of strength and perseverance.

Each engraving in Beham's series illustrates one of the legendary tasks that were set to Hercules by King Eurystheus, ranging from the slaying of the Nemean Lion to the capture of Cerberus, the three-headed dog guarding the gates of the Underworld. Beham's work is characterized by its attention to detail, dynamic composition, and the ability to convey complex narratives within the confines of small-scale prints.

The series not only reflects the artistic skill of Beham but also provides insight into the cultural and intellectual context of the Renaissance, during which classical mythology was a rich source of artistic inspiration. "The Labors of Hercules" by Hans Sebald Beham remains an important example of Renaissance printmaking and contributes to the understanding of mythological iconography in the visual arts.

As an artist, Beham was influenced by Albrecht Dürer and was part of the broader Northern Renaissance movement. His works, including "The Labors of Hercules," are held in various museum collections and are studied for their technical mastery and historical significance. The series is an essential reference for scholars interested in Renaissance art, printmaking techniques, and the interpretation of classical myths during this period.
