"Ercole fanciullo che cavalca un leone" (English: "Young Hercules Riding a Lion") is a notable work by the French artist Gustave Doré, renowned for his masterful engravings and illustrations. This particular piece, however, diverges from his more commonly known graphic works, showcasing Doré's versatility as a fine artist. Created in the 19th century, the artwork depicts a youthful Hercules, a mythological hero known for his extraordinary strength, astride a lion, symbolizing his dominance over nature and his destined path of heroic feats.

The image of Hercules on a lion is a classical motif that has been interpreted by various artists throughout history, representing the theme of power and the taming of the wild. In Doré's rendition, the emphasis on the youthful aspect of Hercules may also allude to the potential and burgeoning power within the hero before he accomplishes his legendary Twelve Labors. The choice of such a subject reflects the 19th-century fascination with classical mythology and the Romantic era's interest in heroic narratives.

Gustave Doré's prolific career encompassed a wide array of artistic endeavors, including painting, sculpture, and illustration. He is particularly celebrated for his illustrations of major literary works, such as Dante's "Divine Comedy," Cervantes' "Don Quixote," and the Bible. "Ercole fanciullo che cavalca un leone" stands as a testament to Doré's skill in capturing the grandeur and drama of mythological subjects, rendered with a dynamic sense of movement and a dramatic interplay of light and shadow.

While "Ercole fanciullo che cavalca un leone" may not be as widely recognized as Doré's illustrative works, it remains an important piece within his oeuvre, demonstrating his artistic range and his enduring fascination with themes of heroism and mythology. The work is significant for scholars and enthusiasts of 19th-century art, particularly those interested in the Romantic movement and the revival of classical themes in visual arts during that period.
