"Hercule et Lycas" is a painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Mauzaisse, created in the 19th century. This artwork depicts a scene from classical mythology, specifically an episode involving the Greek hero Hercules (Hercule in French). The painting captures a dramatic moment in which Hercules is shown in a struggle with Lycas, a character who, according to some versions of the myth, was sent to kill Hercules or was involved in an attempt to overthrow him during his servitude to Queen Omphale.

Jean-Baptiste Mauzaisse (1784–1844) was a historical painter and lithographer, known for his works that often drew on historical and mythological subjects. His style was influenced by the neoclassical movement, which was prevalent during his time, and his works are characterized by their attention to detail, use of color, and the portrayal of human emotion and physicality.

"Hercule et Lycas" is an example of Mauzaisse's skill in conveying the intensity and dynamism of mythological narratives. The painting's composition focuses on the physical confrontation between the hero and his adversary, highlighting Hercules' muscular physique and the tension of the encounter. The artwork reflects the romantic fascination with heroism, the sublime, and the dramatic that was common in the art of the period.

The painting is part of the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon in Lyon, France, where it is displayed among other works of French and European art. As an important piece by Mauzaisse, "Hercule et Lycas" contributes to the understanding of the neoclassical and romantic tendencies in French painting during the early 19th century. It also serves as a visual representation of the enduring influence of classical mythology on European art and culture.
