This bronze sculpture, "Hercules and Cerberus" by Giambologna, is a classic example of Mannerist art. The Italian artist, known for his dynamic and elongated figures, depicts the Greek hero Hercules subduing the three-headed dog Cerberus. The dramatic pose and realistic detail of the figures showcase Giambologna's mastery of bronze casting. This captivating work, now housed at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, MD, exemplifies the influence of classical mythology on Renaissance art.
