Hercules and Albrecht Dürer’s Das Meerwunder in a Chantbook from Renaissance Spain *
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This article centers on two images from the life of Hercules and a
border painting modeled after Albrecht Dürer’s engraving Das
Meerwunder (ca. 1498) in a Kyriale produced ca. 1500 for a Dominican
convent in Toledo, Spain. It discusses the cultural significance of Hercules in
Spain, and Toledo in particular, then presents a contextually sensitive reading
of the image derived from Dürer’s enigmatic engraving, whose subject has yet to
be identified. The image in the Kyriale appears to represent Hercules’
once-famous rescue of the Trojan princess Hesione from a sea
monster.
