Hercules and Omphale is a 1731 oil by Charles-Antoine Coypel, a Rococo painting work, depicting Heracles, held at Bavarian State Painting Collections.
This painting depicts a scene with three figures and a winged creature. The central figure, a woman, sits on a throne-like chair, wearing a white dress and holding a golden object in her right hand. To her left is a man, dressed in a red loincloth, holding a spear and looking at the woman. A small child stands to the right of the woman, wearing a pink cloth around his waist. A winged creature, possibly an angel, is visible behind the man. The background of the painting features a blue sky with white clouds, and a stone column is visible on the left side. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of elegance and refinement. For more information on the artist behind this work, explore the art of Charles-Antoine Coypel.
