This etching by Bernard Picart, "Allegorische voorstelling met Hercules," depicts the classical hero Hercules ascending a staircase to heaven. Above, an angel with wings plays a trumpet as Hercules is guided upward by a figure representing Virtue. Below, figures representing vices such as greed and temptation struggle in a chaotic scene. This allegorical scene, created in 1714, exemplifies the artistic style of the Baroque period.
