EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Joshua Reynolds' masterpiece, "Hercule enfant etranglant les serpents (The Infant Hercules strangling the Serpents)". Painted in 1786, this exquisite piece of English art from the 18th century depicts a powerful scene from Greek mythology. In the painting, we see young Hercules bravely strangling two menacing serpents while surrounded by other mythological figures. To the left stands Tiresias, the wise seer who foretold many prophecies in Greek mythology. On the top right corner, we find Junon (Hera), the goddess known for her association with peacocks and her role as Hercules' divine stepmother. The presence of these characters adds depth and symbolism to this extraordinary artwork. Reynolds masterfully captures not only the physical strength of Hercules but also his youthful innocence and determination. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail, enhancing our appreciation for this mythological tale. Displayed at Musee de l'Ermitage in Saint Petersburg, Russia, this oil on canvas painting is a testament to Reynolds' artistic brilliance and his contribution to English art during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of childhood's power and potential. It serves as a timeless reminder that even in our early years, we possess incredible strength within us to overcome any challenges or obstacles that come our way.
