EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary strength and bravery of Hercules as a child. In this remarkable scene, we witness Hercules lying peacefully in his cradle while two menacing snakes slither towards him. Unbeknownst to them, these serpents are about to face their demise at the hands of the mighty demigod. With astonishing power and determination, Hercules strangles both snakes with his bare hands, showcasing his extraordinary abilities even from such a tender age. As if overseeing this miraculous feat, Juno, who had sent the snakes as a test for Hercules' divine lineage, watches from a cloud above. The artist Charles Howard Hodges skillfully immortalizes this iconic moment on paper in 1793 England. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush, capturing not only the intensity of Hercules' actions but also the awe-inspiring presence of Juno observing from above. This print serves as a testament to human resilience and triumph over adversity. It reminds us that even when faced with daunting challenges or unexpected obstacles, we have within us an inner strength capable of overcoming anything that comes our way. Let it inspire you to embrace your own inner hero and conquer whatever challenges lie ahead.
