EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent statue of Hercules and Cerberus, capturing the intense moment when Hercules completes his twelfth labor. Located at the portal of the Michaelertrakt in Hofburg, Vienna, this stunning piece of art is a testament to both religious symbolism and Greek mythology. In this image, we see Hercules standing tall and barechested, exuding strength and heroism. His muscular physique reflects his divine status as a deity and symbolizes his extraordinary abilities. With determination in his eyes, he fearlessly confronts Cerberus - a mythical three-headed dog guarding the gates of Hades. The color and detail captured by CM Dixon bring this mythical scene to life. The marble statue stands against an impressive backdrop of grand buildings that surround it within the palace grounds. People passing by are drawn to witness this epic encounter between man and beast.

This portrayal serves as a reminder that even gods face challenges on their path to greatness.
