Il natal d'Ercole is a 1605 Florentine printed work by Michelangelo Buonarroti the younger, issued from the Giunti press in Firenze and held by the Getty Research Institute. The single picture is a woodcut printer's device, a fleur-de-lis flanked by two winged griffin-like creatures inside an oval cartouche with scrolling ornament, suggesting a strong symmetrical emblem layout for title pages and bookplates.
