"Hector Scolding Paris" is a painting by the Italian artist Gaspare Landi, an important figure in the neoclassical movement. The work is a historical painting that depicts a scene from Homer's epic poem, the Iliad, in which Hector, the Trojan prince and greatest warrior of Troy, rebukes his brother Paris for his lack of participation in the ongoing Trojan War. The painting is a representation of virtue and valor, embodied by Hector, contrasted with Paris's perceived cowardice and indulgence in love with Helen, whose abduction from Sparta led to the war.

Landi's composition captures the dramatic moment of confrontation, often highlighting the moral and ethical dimensions of the narrative. The artist's use of classical elements and attention to the details of drapery and anatomy reflect the neoclassical style's emphasis on the art and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. "Hector Scolding Paris" is notable for its expression of emotion, the interaction between the characters, and the use of light and shadow to enhance the theatricality of the scene.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not always clear, but it is typically placed in the late 18th or early 19th century, a period when neoclassicism was at its peak. Gaspare Landi, born in 1756 and having died in 1830, was active during this time and contributed to the artistic dialogue by creating works that often reflected the values and aesthetics of the neoclassical movement.

While "Hector Scolding Paris" is not as widely known as some other neoclassical works, it remains an example of Landi's skill and the broader cultural currents of his time. The painting may be found in art historical texts discussing the period or as part of collections that focus on neoclassical painting. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of classical themes in European art and the ability of artists like Landi to interpret these themes in ways that resonate with the sensibilities of their contemporary audiences.
