"A Scene From The Trojan War: The Death Of King Priam" is a historical painting by the Italian Baroque artist Andrea Celesti, depicting a dramatic moment from the ancient Greek epic cycle surrounding the Trojan War. Created in the late 17th or early 18th century, this work of art captures the tragic demise of Priam, the aged king of Troy, during the city's sack by the Greek forces.

The painting is a vivid representation of the chaos and brutality of war, as described in classical literature, such as Homer's "Iliad" and Virgil's "Aeneid." Celesti, known for his dynamic compositions and expressive use of color, illustrates the moment when Priam is slain by Neoptolemus, also known as Pyrrhus, the son of the Greek hero Achilles. The scene is often portrayed as a symbol of the complete destruction of Troy and the end of the Trojan royal line.

In "The Death Of King Priam," Celesti's mastery of Baroque aesthetics is evident through the dramatic use of light and shadow, the intense emotional expressions of the figures, and the movement conveyed within the composition. The painting serves as a powerful example of the Baroque period's fascination with dramatic historical and mythological subjects, showcasing the artist's ability to evoke pathos and engage the viewer.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical implications, as it reflects the enduring influence of classical antiquity on European art. "The Death Of King Priam" remains an important piece within Andrea Celesti's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the Baroque period's narrative painting tradition.
