Hector invites Paris to the battle by Angelika Kaufman

Painting by the Swiss artist Angelika Kaufman “Hector invites Paris to the battle.” The size of the picture is 137 x 178 cm, canvas, oil. The hero of Homeric myths Hector was the bravest leader of the Trojan army. The son of King Priam and Hecuba, he was married to the daughter of King Cetion Andromache, who gave birth to Hector Astyanax or Scamander.

The exploits of Hector are sung by Homer in the Iliad. After killing Patroclus, Hector fell by the hand of Achilles. The body of the Trojan hero Achilles tied to his horse and dragged it around the walls of Troy; then the remains were given to Priam for a huge ransom. Hector’s memory was honored in Ilium; In Thebes, where the remains of Hector were supposedly transferred, his tomb was shown. The most beautiful episodes of the Iliad belong to Hector’s farewell scene with Andromache when he returns to the battlefield.
