"Antigone Au Chevet De Polynice" is a painting by the French artist Jean-Joseph-Benjamin Constant, known for his historical and orientalist works. The painting depicts the tragic Greek myth of Antigone mourning over her brother Polynices, who was slain in battle. The scene is set against a rugged landscape, with the figure of Antigone dressed in white, kneeling over the fallen body of Polynices. Constant's dramatic composition and emotional intensity capture the essence of this classic tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and loss.
