"Hecuba blinding Polymnestor" is a subject depicted in various works of art, originating from the ancient Greek mythological narrative. The story comes from the tragic events that unfold in the aftermath of the Trojan War, as recounted by classical authors such as Euripides in his play "Hecuba." The French School, a term that broadly refers to artists and artistic movements originating from France, has a rich tradition of interpreting mythological themes, and it is within this context that the subject of Hecuba's revenge might have been explored.

In the myth, Hecuba, the queen of Troy, seeks vengeance against Polymnestor, the king of Thrace. Polymnestor had been entrusted with the care of Hecuba's youngest son, Polydorus, with the understanding that he would protect the child should Troy fall. However, Polymnestor murders Polydorus to claim the gold sent with him. Upon discovering her son's death, Hecuba lures Polymnestor under the pretense of revealing hidden Trojan treasures. In a dramatic and violent climax, Hecuba, along with other Trojan women, blinds Polymnestor and murders his children, exacting her revenge.

The depiction of this intense and emotional scene has been a subject for artists throughout history, who have been drawn to its themes of betrayal, retribution, and the depths of a mother's grief. French artists, in particular, have contributed to the visual legacy of this myth through various mediums, including painting, sculpture, and engraving, especially during periods of heightened interest in classical antiquity such as the Renaissance and the Neoclassical era.

While specific works by the French School directly illustrating "Hecuba blinding Polymnestor" are not individually detailed here, the subject is one that fits within the broader scope of French artistic endeavors. Such works, if they exist, would likely be housed in art museums or private collections, and could be studied within the context of the interpretation of classical myths in French art, the representation of female figures in positions of power and revenge, and the exploration of darker human emotions through visual media.

The absence of a specific, identifiable work titled "Hecuba blinding Polymnestor" by the French School in this context suggests that there may not be a singular, notable piece by this name that has been widely recognized or documented in art historical records. However, the theme itself remains a poignant example of the enduring influence of ancient myths on the artistic imagination and the variety of interpretations such stories can inspire.
