EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from Greek mythology, depicting Hercules as a child bravely facing the snakes sent by Hera to kill him in his cradle. The drawing, created by Maurice De Vaines, showcases the artist's skill and attention to detail. The image portrays an intense battle between the infant Hercules and two menacing snakes. With determination in his eyes, he fearlessly grasps one snake while crushing the other underfoot. Surrounding them is a mystical cloud that adds an ethereal touch to the scene. De Vaines' artwork beautifully combines elements of French artistry with mythological symbolism. The presence of a peacock perched on a nearby branch suggests divine intervention or protection, as this bird was often associated with Hera herself. This piece not only highlights Hercules' strength and courage but also explores themes of childhood innocence confronted by danger and adversity. It serves as a reminder of our own resilience when faced with challenges throughout life. Displayed at Palais de Longchamp in Marseille, France, this drawing continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and storytelling prowess. Jean Bernard's copyright ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate this remarkable work of art inspired by ancient legends.
