The oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 132x151 cm and is housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. In this powerful depiction, Hercules stands tall and resolute as he confronts the fearsome three-headed dog, Cerberus. As one of his twelve labors, Hercules must tame this monstrous beast who guards the gates of Hades. With his muscular physique and unwavering determination, Hercules wields a club to capture Cerberus. Zurbaran's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate texture of Hercules' skin to the menacing snarls of Cerberus.
