Hercules 

This dynamic painting by Charles Le Brun depicts Hercules, the Greek hero, riding in a chariot drawn by four horses as he ascends into the heavens. The composition is filled with movement, with the horses straining forward and the figures in the background adding depth and scale to the scene. Le Brun was a prominent figure in French Baroque art, known for his dramatic use of light and shadow and his skill in depicting historical scenes. This artwork is a testament to his talent, capturing the strength and power of Hercules and his journey to the heavens.
