この絵画について

Lodovico Carracci (1555-1619) was taught by Prospero Fontana (1512-1597) and in 1582 he was elected a member of the council of the Compagnia dei Bombasari e Pittori, Bologna. He was a rather successful artist and ran an important workshop with his two younger cousins, Agostino and Annibale Carracci with whom he also founded around 1585 the Accademia degli Incamminati in Bologna. He received important commissions in Bologna and near cities, including wall decorations. He died in Bologna where he spent most of his life in 1619.

The painting is a fresco transferred on canvas, which was executed in 1594 by Lodovico to decorate his cousin's house in Bologna. It shows the ancient Greek hero Hercules just after he killed the Hydra of Lerna, a monstrous sea serpent. The hero is shown sat on a rock, his burning torch in his left hand while he is resting his head on the other. This painting is a good example of the new style influenced by the Venetian art that Lodovico developed in the 1590s.
