Hercules and Omphale

1728 - 1761. Marble.
Not on display

Antoine Dumandré and his brother Hubert worked for Philip V at the palace of La Granja and this relief can be associated with their work and hence with the monarch’s artistic circle. Considered the mythical ancestor of the Spanish monarchy, Hercules was sold as a slave to Queen Omphale in punishment for a crime. He became her lover at court, a situation they concealed by cross-dressing and adopting each other’s clothes.
