"The Infant Hercules" is a painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds, a prominent 18th-century English painter who specialized in portraits. Created in 1786, the painting depicts Hercules as an infant, showcasing his mythological strength by strangling a serpent sent by the goddess Hera to kill him. This artwork is an exemplar of Reynolds' skill in portraying dramatic and heroic subjects, a theme that was popular during the neoclassical period in which he worked.

The painting is noted for its dynamic composition and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modelling three-dimensional objects and figures. Reynolds' depiction of the infant Hercules is both a literal and symbolic representation of power and potential, reflecting the artist's interest in themes of heroism and virtue.

"The Infant Hercules" is held in high regard not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural significance in representing the ideals of strength and protection. It remains an important work in the study of British art and the neoclassical period, and it is frequently discussed in art historical literature for its stylistic qualities and thematic depth. The painting is housed in a notable museum collection, contributing to its accessibility for both public viewing and scholarly examination.
