"Hercules Conquering Cacus" is a woodcut print created by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer in 1496. The work is part of a series of woodcuts known as the "The Labors of Hercules," which illustrates the legendary feats of the Greek hero Hercules. In this particular print, Dürer depicts the dramatic moment when Hercules subdues the fire-breathing giant Cacus, who had been terrorizing the Aventine Hill before Hercules' arrival.

The woodcut showcases Dürer's mastery of the medium, with intricate lines and dynamic composition that convey the intense struggle between the hero and the monster. Hercules is shown in the act of overpowering Cacus, emphasizing his muscular physique and heroic strength, which were common themes in Renaissance art. The print reflects Dürer's deep engagement with classical mythology and his ability to reinterpret these ancient stories through the lens of Northern Renaissance artistry.

"Hercules Conquering Cacus" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its place within Dürer's broader oeuvre. Dürer was a pivotal figure in the Northern Renaissance, known for his contributions to printmaking, which helped disseminate his and other artists' works more widely than ever before. This print exemplifies Dürer's skill in translating mythological and allegorical subjects into a visual language that was accessible and compelling to his contemporaries.

The woodcut is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly study for its iconography, technique, and historical context. It remains an important example of Dürer's work and of the Renaissance engagement with classical themes.
