Hercules Killing the Stymphalian Birds is a 1500 tempera on canvas painting by Albrecht Dürer, now kept in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg.

[3] Dürer's only painting of a mythological subject, Hercules Killing the Stymphalian Birds was probably commissioned for Frederick the Wise for a room in the Schloss Wittenberg, which contains other paintings of the Labours of Hercules.

Hercules, armed with bow and arrow, is ready to shoot at two winged monsters that appear to his right.

His composition is probably derived from Italian prints, like Hercules and Deianira by Antonio del Pollaiuolo.

Even the landscape in the background follows Italian examples, with its dark palette and brilliant reds representing the deadly swamps of Lake Stymphalia.
