"Achilles Lamenting the Death of Patroclus" is a neoclassical painting by Scottish artist Gavin Hamilton, completed in 1760. The artwork is a poignant representation of a scene from Homer's epic poem, the Iliad, capturing the moment when Achilles mourns the death of his close friend and confidant, Patroclus. Hamilton, who was both a painter and an antiquities dealer, played a significant role in the development of neoclassical art, which sought to revive the styles and subjects of ancient Greece and Rome.

The painting is a masterful example of neoclassical aesthetics, characterized by its clarity of form, serene composition, and the use of classical motifs. In the artwork, Achilles is depicted with a dramatic expression of grief and despair, as he cradles the lifeless body of Patroclus. The scene is set against a backdrop that evokes the grandeur of ancient Greek architecture, further emphasizing the classical theme.

Gavin Hamilton's work not only reflects the artistic trends of his time but also contributes to the cultural fascination with classical antiquity that was prevalent in the 18th century. "Achilles Lamenting the Death of Patroclus" is often cited as an influential piece that helped shape the visual language of neoclassicism and is celebrated for its emotional depth and historical resonance.

The painting has been exhibited in various galleries and has been the subject of scholarly analysis, particularly in discussions of neoclassical art and its interpretation of ancient texts. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Gavin Hamilton and a valuable artifact of the neoclassical movement.
