The Labors of Hercules: Hercules Carrying the Columns of Gades, 1545. Creator: Hans Sebald Beham
The Labors of Hercules: Hercules Carrying the Columns of Gades, 1545. According to myth, the Pillars of Hercules are the mountains flanking the Strait of Gibraltar. Here, Beham refers to another interpretation of the pillars as classical columns set up by Hercules in Gades--now the Spanish port of Cadiz--as a gateway to undiscovered realms. Two of Christopher Columbuss expeditions to the Americas launched from Cadiz. Beham was one of several German printmakers referred to today as the " Little Masters." They established their artistic prowess by engraving remarkably small prints, appealing to collectors fascinated with miniature objects and curiosities
