The work

This Roman fresco, from Pompeii, depicts a mythological scene with Heracles (Hercules) and Omphale , the queen of Lydia, accompanied by female figures and cherubs. The central scene features Omphale seated in a regal position, wearing refined attire, while Heracles appears submissive, symbolizing the reversal of gender roles imposed by the queen. The cherubs, small winged cupids, add a playful element, while they pull a miniature chariot, probably alluding to the theme of love and lightness.

The fresco is characterized by a delicate color palette and accurate details, typical of Roman art, which harmoniously mix mythological and human elements, immortalizing a moment of strong cultural symbolism.
