The Departure of Hektor 

"The Departure of Hektor", by Albert Maignan, depicts the final farewell of the Trojan hero Hektor as he heads off to face his destiny in battle against the Greeks. The painting's emotional impact is heightened by the dramatic pose of Hektor, reaching out to his wife Andromache and their young son Astyanax. Andromache's anguish is palpable as she clutches the child, her face a mask of despair. Maignan's masterful use of light and shadow enhances the scene's emotional intensity, creating a poignant moment in the epic tale of the Trojan War. The painting is currently held at the Princeton University Art Museum.
