This oil on canvas artwork showcases her tragic fate at the hands of an assailant, highlighting her suffering and despair. In "Hercules and Deianira, " an ivory sculpture beautifully immortalizes their love story. The intricate details showcase their deep bond and affection for each other. Moving to "Deianira, 1878, " we see a delicate gouache on paper representation of this legendary character. The artist skillfully brings out her grace and elegance through subtle brushstrokes. Heinrich Aldegrever's "Hercules Killing Nessus" takes us back to the pivotal moment when Hercules seeks revenge for what happened to his beloved wife. It symbolizes his determination to protect Deianeira at all costs. Giulio Bonasone explores various aspects of their relationship in several works like "Terms of Hercules and Deianira. " These engravings depict different episodes from their lives together, showcasing both their strength as individuals and their unity as a couple. One such engraving titled "Hercules fight adragon in the centre, Achelous carrying off Deianeira upper left" presents a dynamic scene where Hercules battles against mythical creatures to save his wife from harm. A bust created by Giulio Bonasone offers a more intimate portrayal of Hercules and Dejanira. Their features are meticulously carved, capturing both their physical beauty and emotional connection.
