"Hercules and Omphale" is a notable work by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a renowned German Renaissance painter and printmaker. This painting, created in the 16th century, depicts the classical mythological story of Hercules and Omphale, a theme that Cranach revisited multiple times throughout his career. In the myth, Hercules is enslaved by Omphale, the Queen of Lydia, as a punishment for a crime, and the painting captures the role reversal between the hero and the queen, with Hercules often portrayed in women's clothing and Omphale wearing the skin of the Nemean lion and wielding Hercules' club.

Cranach's interpretation of the subject is characterized by his distinctive style, which combines intricate detail with a subtle use of color and composition, reflecting the Northern Renaissance's attention to surface detail and texture. The painting showcases Cranach's skill in portraying the human figure and his ability to convey narrative through visual means. His version of Hercules and Omphale often includes erotic undertones, which was not uncommon in his work, and reflects the humanist interest in classical antiquity during the Renaissance period.

The exact date of the painting's creation is uncertain, but it is generally attributed to the early 1530s. "Hercules and Omphale" is one of several works by Cranach held in prestigious art collections around the world, and it exemplifies the artist's contribution to the visual arts during the Reformation, a time when iconography was undergoing significant changes. The painting is not only a testament to Cranach's artistic prowess but also provides insight into the cultural and societal norms of the time, as mythological subjects were often used to explore contemporary themes of power, gender, and morality.

As with many of Cranach's works, "Hercules and Omphale" has been the subject of art historical research and scholarship, contributing to the understanding of the artist's oeuvre and the broader context of Renaissance art. The painting remains an important piece for study and appreciation, reflecting the enduring legacy of Lucas Cranach the Elder in the history of art.
