"Hercules at the Court of Omphale" is a notable artwork by Lucas Cranach the Younger, a prominent German Renaissance painter. This painting, created in the 16th century, vividly depicts the mythological narrative of Hercules, a hero of ancient Greek mythology known for his extraordinary strength and daring adventures, during his time at the court of Omphale, the queen of Lydia. According to the myth, as a punishment for a murder, Hercules was sold into slavery to Omphale, who required him to do women's work and sometimes wore his lion skin while he was dressed in women's clothing, inverting the traditional roles of gender and power.

Lucas Cranach the Younger, born in 1515, was the son of Lucas Cranach the Elder, another significant figure in the Renaissance art movement. The younger Cranach's work is often characterized by its detailed portrayal of mythological and religious themes, with a particular focus on the human figure, rendered with a delicate and precise touch that was influenced by his father's style but also demonstrated his unique artistic voice.

"Hercules at the Court of Omphale" stands out for its intricate depiction of the characters and the dynamic between them, showcasing Cranach the Younger's skill in portraying complex narratives within a single frame. The painting not only reflects the artistic trends of the time, particularly the interest in classical antiquity and mythological subjects, but also offers insight into the cultural and social norms of the period, especially regarding gender roles and power dynamics.

The artwork is celebrated for its technical excellence, the vividness of its narrative, and its place within the broader context of Renaissance art. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the period, the Cranach artistic dynasty, and the representation of mythological themes in art history.
