"Herkules na Rozstajnych Drogach (wybor Pomiedzy Cnota A Rozpusta)" is a notable painting by the German Baroque artist Johann Liss, who was active during the early 17th century. Liss, known for his dynamic compositions and dramatic use of light and shadow, created this work around 1625-1630. The painting, whose title translates to "Hercules at the Crossroads (Choice Between Virtue and Vice)," is a vivid representation of the classical theme of moral choice, a subject that has been explored by various artists throughout history.

The painting depicts the mythological hero Hercules at a pivotal moment in his life, where he must choose between the path of virtue, represented by a modest and virtuous woman, and the path of vice, symbolized by a more alluring and decadent figure. This allegorical scene is rooted in the ancient Greek myth recounted by the sophist Prodicus and later popularized by the philosopher Xenophon. The narrative serves as a moral lesson on the importance of choosing a righteous and virtuous life over one of indulgence and moral decay.

Liss's interpretation of this theme is characterized by his masterful use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs stark contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and three-dimensionality. The figures are rendered with a high degree of naturalism, and the composition is carefully balanced to draw the viewer's eye to the central figure of Hercules, who stands at the crossroads of his destiny.

The painting is also notable for its emotional intensity and the psychological depth of its characters. The expressions and body language of the figures convey a sense of inner conflict and contemplation, inviting viewers to reflect on their own moral choices. "Herkules na Rozstajnych Drogach" is a testament to Johann Liss's skill as a painter and his ability to convey complex themes through his art.
