Hector Upbraiding Paris for His Retreat from Battle 

Angelica Kauffmann’s *Hector Upbraiding Paris for His Retreat from Battle* depicts a scene from the Trojan War. The painting shows the Trojan hero Hector confronting his brother Paris, who has retreated from battle. The scene is set in a grand interior with multiple female figures in the background. Hector is in full armor, while Paris sits with a bow and arrow, suggesting he is a coward and unfit for battle. This painting showcases Kauffmann’s mastery of neoclassical style, characterized by precise lines, balanced composition, and a focus on historical and mythological themes.
