Set against the backdrop of Florence and the Arno River Valley, “Hercules and Deianira” depicts the myth of Hercules saving Deianira from the centaur Nessus by shooting him with a poisoned arrow. The painting is in the Yale University Art Gallery and is a rare example of a work in North America by the Florentine artist Antonio del Pollaiuolo, who was celebrated for his depictions of the male nude in dramatic action. Buona visione!
