EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Hercules defeats Antaeus," is a stunning masterpiece from the 16th century created by the collaborative efforts of Cornelis Cort and Hieronymus Cock. Part of their series, "The Labours of Hercules," this print depicts the legendary Greek hero in the midst of his ninth labor, where he battles Antaeus, a formidable opponent who could only be defeated when not in contact with the earth. Hercules is shown in a triumphant moment, with one hand gripping Antaeus's ankles and the other raising a club, while Antaeus lies defeated at his feet. The elderly woman in the foreground, possibly a representation of the Fate, watches the scene unfold with a sense of detachment. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textured fabric of Hercules's tunic to the expressive facial features of the characters, demonstrate the skill and artistry of the Flemish engravers. This print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring power of Greek mythology and the artistic heritage of Europe.
