Achilles with the Daughters of Lycomedes

Szépmûvészeti Múzeum, Budapest

mythological

In this picture, Achilles, disguised as a girl, is detected by the artful Odysseus. The painting translates the ancient myth into the courtly ambience of the 17th century. The picture almost appears like a theatrical staging, with actors in exquisite costumes appearing against the backdrop of impressive sets.
