"Hercules" by Albrecht Dürer is a notable work of art by the German Renaissance artist, created in the late 15th or early 16th century. This piece, also known as "Hercules at the Crossroads," is an engraving that depicts the classical mythological figure Hercules, known for his extraordinary strength and for the twelve labors he undertook as penance. The artwork illustrates a moment from the "Choice of Hercules" narrative, in which the young hero must choose between the path of virtue and that of vice.

Dürer's rendition of Hercules is characterized by its intricate detail and the interplay of light and shadow, which were hallmarks of his engraving technique. The composition showcases Hercules in a dynamic pose, reflecting the tension of his decision, and is surrounded by various symbolic elements that enhance the moral message of the scene. The engraving is a testament to Dürer's mastery of the medium and his ability to convey complex themes through visual allegory.

As a leading figure of the Northern Renaissance, Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was renowned for his contributions to printmaking, and his engravings were widely circulated, influencing artists across Europe. "Hercules" exemplifies Dürer's skill in translating classical and humanist themes into the visual language of the Renaissance, bridging the worlds of Germanic tradition and Italian innovation. The work is an important piece within Dürer's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance within the context of Renaissance art.
