"Pluton enchaînant Cerbère" (Pluto Enchaining Cerberus) is a notable sculpture by the French artist Jacques-Augustin Pajou, created during the 18th century. This work of art depicts the Roman god Pluto, known in Greek mythology as Hades, in the act of subduing and chaining Cerberus, the multi-headed dog that guards the entrance to the underworld. The sculpture is an embodiment of the neoclassical style that Pajou was known for, which sought to revive the classical ideals of beauty, harmony, and proportion.

Jacques-Augustin Pajou (1730–1809) was a prominent French sculptor who gained recognition for his mastery in sculpting marble and his contributions to the decorative arts during the reign of Louis XV and Louis XVI. His works often reflected the influence of classical antiquity, which was a prevalent theme in the neoclassical movement that dominated European art and architecture in the mid-to-late 18th century.

"Pluton enchaînant Cerbère" is significant for its dynamic representation of mythological subject matter, showcasing Pajou's skill in capturing movement and emotion in marble. The sculpture is characterized by its detailed rendering of the figures and the dramatic interaction between the god and the beast. The tension in the composition reflects the struggle between control and chaos, a theme commonly explored in mythological narratives.

The work is part of a larger tradition of artists depicting scenes from ancient mythology, which served as a rich source of inspiration for artists of the neoclassical period. Pajou's interpretation of Pluto and Cerberus contributes to the understanding of how these myths were visualized and reimagined during the Enlightenment.

As an important piece of neoclassical sculpture, "Pluton enchaînant Cerbère" not only highlights Pajou's artistic legacy but also provides insight into the cultural and aesthetic values of the period in which it was created. The sculpture remains an important object of study for art historians and enthusiasts interested in the evolution of European sculpture and the enduring appeal of classical mythology in the arts.
