"Bellerophon Fighting the Chimaera" is a notable sculpture by the Austrian artist Johann Nepomuk Schaller, created in the early 19th century. This work of art captures the mythological scene where the hero Bellerophon, mounted on the winged horse Pegasus, combats the fearsome Chimaera, a monstrous creature with the body and head of a lion, a goat's head protruding from its back, and a serpent for a tail. The sculpture is a fine example of the Neoclassical style, which sought to revive the aesthetics of ancient Greek and Roman art, characterized by its emphasis on harmony, clarity, and strong lines.

Schaller's representation of this epic battle is both dynamic and detailed, reflecting the artist's skill in rendering mythological subjects with a sense of drama and movement. The piece likely served to not only showcase Schaller's technical prowess but also to convey the themes of heroism and the triumph of good over evil, which were popular in the art and literature of the time.

Johann Nepomuk Schaller (1777–1842) was an accomplished sculptor whose work contributed to the artistic landscape of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He received his training at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and went on to produce various works, including religious sculptures, portraits, and mythological scenes. "Bellerophon Fighting the Chimaera" stands as a testament to his artistic legacy and the enduring appeal of classical mythology in European art.

The sculpture is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context, reflecting the Neoclassical movement's influence on European artists during the period. It is a piece that continues to be studied and appreciated for its representation of mythological narrative and its place within the oeuvre of Johann Nepomuk Schaller.
