"Laomedon, King of Troy, detected by Neptune and Apollo" is an engraving created by Robert Strange in 1775. The artwork depicts the Greek mythological scene where Laomedon, king of Troy, is exposed for breaking a promise to the gods Neptune and Apollo. The image is characteristic of Strange's meticulous style, with detailed figures and a dramatic composition. The use of strong contrasts and light emphasizes the scene's tension. This engraving was likely created for a broader audience interested in classical mythology and art, making it a fine example of the artistic tradition of illustrating mythological narratives.
