"Herkules na rozstaju dróg (wybór pomiędzy cnotą a rozpustą)" (Hercules at the Crossroads) is a notable painting by the German Baroque painter Johann Liss, created in the 17th century. This artwork depicts the moment from classical mythology where the young Hercules must choose between the paths of virtue and vice, a moral allegory that was a popular subject for artists during the Baroque period. The painting is emblematic of Liss's dynamic style, characterized by dramatic lighting, intense emotion, and fluid movement, which were hallmarks of the Baroque movement.

In the painting, Hercules is typically shown as a muscular young man, caught in a moment of decision between two allegorical figures representing Virtue and Vice. Virtue is often portrayed as a modestly dressed woman, leading to a steep, rocky path, while Vice is usually depicted as an alluring woman, offering a path of pleasure and ease. The artwork captures the tension of Hercules's choice, reflecting the Baroque era's fascination with the dramatic interplay between human choice, morality, and destiny.

Johann Liss was known for his skillful use of color and his ability to convey movement and expression, which brought his subjects to life. His works were influential in the development of Baroque painting in both Germany and Italy, where he spent a significant part of his career. "Herkules na rozstaju dróg" is considered an important example of Liss's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Baroque art's thematic and stylistic preoccupations.

The painting is not only a representation of a mythological scene but also serves as a reflection of the cultural and philosophical ideas of the time, particularly the humanist interest in classical antiquity and the Baroque period's emphasis on the dramatic and the emotional. It remains an important work for the study of Johann Liss's artistic legacy and the broader context of European art history.
