"Oedipus and Antigone" is a painting by Antoni Brodowski, a renowned Polish Neoclassical painter. Created in 1828, the artwork is a representation of a scene from Greek mythology, specifically from the story of Oedipus, the tragic king of Thebes, and his daughter Antigone. The painting depicts the moment when the blind Oedipus, having discovered the truth of his own identity and the inadvertent crimes he has committed, is led by Antigone. This subject is a classic example of the exploration of fate, tragedy, and moral complexity in ancient Greek literature, themes that were frequently revisited during the Neoclassical period.

Brodowski's painting is characterized by its dramatic intensity and the emotional depth with which it portrays its subjects. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as the careful attention to the anatomical details of the figures, reflects the Neoclassical emphasis on idealized beauty and the inspiration drawn from the art of antiquity. The composition of the painting, with Oedipus's dependency on his daughter for guidance, also highlights the themes of family loyalty and the reversal of parent-child roles.

As a significant work in Brodowski's oeuvre, "Oedipus and Antigone" exemplifies the artist's skill in historical and mythological painting, a genre that was highly esteemed in the academic art circles of the 19th century. The painting not only demonstrates Brodowski's mastery of the Neoclassical style but also contributes to the understanding of how ancient myths were interpreted and visualized in the modern era.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its contribution to the canon of Neoclassical art. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its representation of enduring themes from classical mythology. "Oedipus and Antigone" remains an important part of the cultural heritage of Poland and is a testament to the enduring influence of Greek mythology on Western art.
