"Ulysse reconnaissant Achille parmi les filles de Lycomede" is a painting by the Flemish artist Frans Francken the Younger, who was active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Francken was known for his detailed and vibrant compositions, often depicting historical, religious, and mythological subjects.

This particular painting illustrates a scene from Greek mythology, where Odysseus (Ulysses) discovers Achilles hidden among the daughters of King Lycomedes. According to the myth, Thetis, Achilles' mother, disguised him as a girl to prevent him from joining the Trojan War, as she knew he was fated to die there. Odysseus, tasked with finding Achilles, cleverly revealed his identity by presenting gifts to the women, including weapons, which Achilles instinctively chose, thus exposing himself.

Francken's work captures the moment of revelation with a keen eye for drama and detail. The composition is rich with color and movement, typical of Francken's style, and reflects the Baroque interest in dynamic storytelling and emotional intensity. The figures are elegantly posed, and the setting is lavishly detailed, showcasing Francken's skill in rendering both human figures and intricate backgrounds.

The painting is a fine example of Francken's ability to blend narrative clarity with artistic flourish, making it a notable piece within his oeuvre. It also reflects the broader cultural fascination with classical mythology during the Baroque period, as artists and patrons sought to explore these timeless stories through visual art.

While specific details about the painting's provenance or current location may not be widely documented, it remains an important work for understanding the thematic and stylistic concerns of Frans Francken the Younger and his contributions to Flemish Baroque painting.
