Hector and Andromache FarewellJohann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein

57
Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein’s painting (1780–82) depicts a poignant scene from Homer’s Iliad . Hector, in classical armor, bids farewell to Andromache, who wears a white gown, her expression a mix of sadness and concern. The Neoclassical style emphasizes symmetry and classical themes, with figures rendered in anatomical precision.
