"Oedipus and Antigone being exiled to Thebes" is a painting by French artist Eugene-Ernest Hillemacher, depicting a scene from Greek mythology. The artwork captures the poignant moment of the tragic hero Oedipus, accompanied by his daughter Antigone, as they are exiled from the city of Thebes. Hillemacher, who lived during the 19th century, was known for his historical and mythological scenes, often imbued with a sense of drama and emotional depth.

In the painting, Oedipus, the former king of Thebes, is shown in a state of despair and blindness, having learned of his inadvertent patricide and incest. Antigone, one of his daughters, acts as his guide and support, demonstrating her loyalty and compassion amidst their shared suffering. The exile of Oedipus is a pivotal moment in the Theban plays, a series of ancient Greek tragedies written by Sophocles that explore themes of fate, free will, and the human condition.

Hillemacher's interpretation of this classical subject is reflective of the 19th-century Romantic fascination with the grandeur and pathos of ancient myths. His work contributes to the visual arts tradition of interpreting literary and mythological themes, offering viewers a chance to engage with these timeless stories through the medium of painting. The artwork serves not only as a representation of a specific mythological event but also as an example of the broader cultural and artistic interests of the period in which it was created.
