"Hector Leaving Andromache" is a renowned neoclassical painting by the French artist Baron Pierre-Narcisse Guérin, completed in 1798. The artwork depicts a poignant scene from Homer's epic poem, the Iliad, capturing the moment when the Trojan hero Hector bids farewell to his wife Andromache and their infant son Astyanax, before returning to battle during the Trojan War. Guérin's masterful use of color and composition conveys the emotional weight of the farewell and the looming sense of tragedy, as Hector is fated to die in combat.

The painting is a quintessential example of the neoclassical style, which sought to revive the classical ideals of ancient Greece and Rome. Guérin's work reflects the influence of his contemporaries, such as Jacques-Louis David, in its clear lines, poised figures, and moral gravity. "Hector Leaving Andromache" is celebrated for its dramatic expression of human emotion and the artist's ability to imbue the scene with both tenderness and foreboding, reflecting the era's fascination with heroic antiquity and the moral lessons drawn from its stories.

Baron Pierre-Narcisse Guérin (1774–1833) was a prominent figure in French art, serving as a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts and winning the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1797. His work, including "Hector Leaving Andromache," played a significant role in the development of Romanticism in French painting, bridging the gap between the strict classicism of the late 18th century and the more expressive and emotionally charged art of the 19th century. The painting remains an important artifact of cultural and artistic history, offering insight into the values and aesthetics of the Napoleonic era.
