"Ercole e il Leone Nemeo" (Hercules and the Nemean Lion) is a renowned engraving by the German artist Heinrich Aldegrever, created in 1550. This work is part of a series that depicts the Twelve Labors of Hercules, a subject matter popular in Renaissance art, reflecting the humanist interest in classical antiquity. Aldegrever, a contemporary of Albrecht Dürer, was a prominent figure in the Northern Renaissance and is known for his meticulous engravings that combine German and Italian stylistic elements.

The engraving portrays the mythological hero Hercules in the midst of his first labor, as assigned by King Eurystheus. The task was to slay the fearsome Nemean Lion, a creature whose hide was impervious to weapons. Aldegrever captures the moment of struggle as Hercules grapples with the lion, attempting to subdue and ultimately kill it with his bare hands, as no weapon could penetrate its skin. The composition reflects the artist's skill in depicting the human form and the dynamism of the struggle, as well as his ability to convey the textures of the lion's fur and Hercules' musculature.

Measuring approximately 12.6 x 8.7 cm, this small but detailed work is a fine example of Aldegrever's craftsmanship and his contribution to the Northern Renaissance's body of classical imagery. "Ercole e il Leone Nemeo" not only showcases Aldegrever's artistic talent but also serves as a reflection of the era's fascination with classical myths and the embodiment of humanist ideals through the heroic figure of Hercules.

The engraving is held in various collections and has been studied for its artistic merit and cultural significance. It continues to be appreciated for its technical excellence and as an exemplar of the themes and styles that dominated the art of the period.
