"The Labours of Hercules" is a series of engravings by the German artist Hans Sebald Beham (1500–1550), one of the key figures in the group of printmakers known as the Little Masters due to their production of small, finely detailed prints. Created in the 1540s, this series depicts the twelve mythological labors undertaken by the Greek hero Hercules, a popular subject in Renaissance art that symbolized the triumph of virtue and heroic fortitude.

Beham's interpretation of the Herculean labors is notable for its intricate craftsmanship and the fusion of classical mythology with the artistic and cultural sensibilities of the Northern Renaissance. Each engraving within the series is packed with action and detail, reflecting Beham's skill in rendering narrative and his ability to work on a miniature scale. The series showcases Beham's mastery of the engraving medium, his precise line work, and his imaginative approach to composition.

As a prominent artist in the city of Nuremberg, Beham was influenced by the works of Albrecht Dürer and was part of a larger movement that sought to disseminate classical themes through the accessible medium of prints. "The Labours of Hercules" not only exemplifies Beham's artistic prowess but also serves as a reflection of the humanist interests of the time, as Renaissance artists and scholars looked to ancient texts and stories for inspiration.

The series contributed to the popularization of classical themes in Northern European art and provided a template for how such mythological subjects could be adapted to the tastes and interests of 16th-century audiences. Today, "The Labours of Hercules" by Hans Sebald Beham remains an important work for the study of Renaissance printmaking and the reception of classical mythology in early modern Europe.
