"Achilles Recognized among the Daughters of King Lycomedes" is a painting by the Flemish artist Frans Francken the Younger, a prominent figure in the Antwerp school of painting during the early 17th century. Known for his intricate and detailed compositions, Francken specialized in historical, biblical, and mythological scenes, often incorporating numerous figures and elaborate settings.

This particular painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology involving Achilles, the legendary hero of the Trojan War. According to myth, Achilles' mother, Thetis, disguised him as a girl and hid him among the daughters of King Lycomedes to prevent him from joining the Trojan War, as she knew he was fated to die young. The painting captures the moment when Achilles is discovered by Odysseus, who cleverly reveals his identity by presenting gifts of jewelry and weapons. While the daughters are drawn to the jewelry, Achilles instinctively reaches for the weapons, thus revealing his true nature.

Francken's work is characterized by its vibrant colors and dynamic composition. The painting likely features a richly detailed interior, with the figures of Achilles, Odysseus, and the daughters of Lycomedes depicted in elegant attire typical of Francken's style. The artist's attention to detail and ability to convey narrative through expression and gesture are evident in this work.

While specific details about the painting's provenance or current location may not be widely documented, Francken's works are held in various collections around the world, including museums in Antwerp, Vienna, and other European cities. His paintings are appreciated for their historical significance and artistic merit, reflecting the cultural and artistic milieu of the Flemish Baroque period.
