This image is an engraving from the year 1548, as indicated by the inscription on the circular structure. It depicts a muscular man in a dramatic struggle with a lion. The man appears to be overpowering the lion, whose mouth is opened in a roar or a gasp for air. This scene is often associated with the ancient Greek myth of Hercules (Heracles) fighting the Nemean lion, one of his twelve labors. In the background, you can see a cityscape with a prominent tower and buildings, indicating that the event may be taking place on the outskirts of a historical European city. The foreground is framed with shields, armor, and weapons scattered on the ground, suggesting the context of a battle or an heroic quest. The style of the engraving, with its detailed line work and lack of color, is typical of the period's art. The Latin inscription at the top refers to Hercules being induced into action against the suffocated lion, further reinforcing the mythological narrative.

The image is a detailed and intricate black-and-white engraving depicting the mythological scene of Hercules grappling with the Nemean Lion. Hercules, depicted as a muscular man, is shown in the act of strangling the lion. His strong arms are wrapped firmly around the lion's neck, demonstrating his immense strength. The lion appears powerful and fierce, with a well-defined mane and a tense, struggling posture. The scene is set outdoors with various elements in the background and foreground contributing to the atmosphere. To the left, there are architectural structures, including a tower and buildings that suggest a city or a fortified place. The background buildings are detailed with arches, windows, and battlements, adding depth to the scene. On the right side, trees are depicted with bare branches and rugged textures, and there is a shield leaning against one of the trees, hinting at the aftermath of a battle or the readiness for one. The ground is textured with stones and natural elements like foliage, which enhance the realistic depiction of the scene. There is text at the top of the image, which reads, "LEONIS SVFFOCATI EXVVIVS INDVITVR HERCVLES," indicating the theme of Hercules wearing the skin of the strangled lion. Below this, on a stone pedestal in the bottom left, the date "1548" is inscribed along with the initials "I - B," likely signifying the artist and the year the work was completed.

This black and white illustration depicts a fantastical scene with a muscular, bearded man wrestling a lion in a wooded area overlooking a castle or city. The man appears nude except for what looks like fur boots, and has long flowing hair. Though human in form, he seems to represent a mythological figure like Hercules given his physique and the unrealistic scenario of wrestling a lion. The highly detailed etching style shows a dense forest surrounding them, with individual leaves visible on the trees. In the background, a castle or walled city with tall towers can be seen, possibly representing the legendary lost city mentioned in the Latin title text below the image.

This is a classical engraving from 1542 (as dated in the image) depicting Hercules wrestling with the Nemean Lion, one of his twelve labors. The Latin text at the top reads "LEONIS SVFFOCATI EXVVIIS INDVITVR HERCVLES" which refers to Hercules donning the skin of the suffocated lion. The scene shows the dramatic struggle between man and beast in a detailed black and white engraving style. In the background, there's a castle or fortress with towers, and the setting includes trees and architectural elements. The composition includes cylindrical structures on the left side and natural elements like trees on the right. The artistic style is characteristic of Renaissance-era engravings, with fine line work and careful attention to detail in the shading and texturing. The artist's initials "I.B." are visible in the lower left corner of the work. This mythological scene represents one of the most famous episodes from classical mythology, where Hercules had to defeat the invulnerable Nemean Lion as his first labor, ultimately strangling it since its hide was impervious to weapons.
