Achille Au Milieu Des Filles De Lycomede, also known as "Achilles Among the Daughters of Lycomedes," is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Donato Creti. Created in the early 18th century, this work exemplifies Creti's mastery in combining classical themes with the stylistic elements of the Baroque period. Donato Creti, born in 1671 in Cremona and active primarily in Bologna, was known for his meticulous technique and his ability to infuse mythological and historical subjects with a sense of drama and emotion.

The painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology, where Thetis, the mother of Achilles, disguises her son as a girl and hides him among the daughters of King Lycomedes to prevent him from joining the Trojan War. This narrative moment is rich with tension and anticipation, as it captures the moment before Achilles' true identity is revealed. Creti's composition skillfully arranges the figures to draw the viewer's eye towards the central character of Achilles, whose masculine features and demeanor subtly contrast with the surrounding maidens.

Creti's use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect of the scene, a hallmark of Baroque art. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the fabrics and the delicate expressions of the characters, which convey a range of emotions from curiosity to surprise. The painting not only showcases Creti's technical prowess but also his ability to interpret and animate classical stories with a fresh perspective.

Achille Au Milieu Des Filles De Lycomede is a testament to Donato Creti's contribution to Baroque art and his unique approach to mythological subjects. The painting remains an important piece for understanding the evolution of narrative art in the early 18th century and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
