Large oil painting on its original canvas from the late 17th century
In the 17th century, many artists were inspired by classical themes from Greek mythology, such as the scene of “Ulysses discovering Astyanax in the tomb of Hector”. This story, from ancient literature, was represented in various ways through painting at that time.
The story in question comes from Homer's epic work, the Iliad, where Ulysses, the famous Greek hero, discovers the young Trojan prince Astyanax in the tomb of his father Hector, the Trojan prince who fell in battle. This discovery is tinged with tragedy, because it symbolizes the end of the Trojan War and the defeat of the Trojan city.
Framing from a later period.
