This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing depiction of Hercules, the legendary hero of classical antiquity. In this landscape scene, Hercules stands tall with his mighty club in hand, holding the severed heads of King Diomedes and the notorious cattle thief Cacus. The head of the formidable giant Geryon rests atop his club, symbolizing yet another triumph over evil. With one foot firmly planted on the multi-headed hydra of Lerna, Hercules demonstrates his unparalleled strength as he vanquishes this fearsome water monster. The intricate details captured in this engraving by Hieronymus Wierix transport viewers to a world where heroes conquer mythical creatures and face death-defying challenges. The margin surrounding this remarkable artwork features a two-line caption written in both Latin and Dutch, extracted from Ovid's book. It speaks volumes about violent deaths caused by beheading and highlights Hercules' victories against various adversaries such as Hydra, Geryon, Diomedes, and Cacus. Dating back to 1578 in Antwerp, Belgium, this paper engraving measures 134 mm in height and 100 mm in width.
