"Andromache Mourning the Death of Hector" is a neoclassical painting by the Scottish painter Gavin Hamilton, completed in 1763. The artwork is a poignant representation of grief and loss, depicting the moment from Homer's epic poem, the Iliad, where Andromache, the wife of the Trojan hero Hector, laments over his death at the hands of Achilles during the Trojan War.

The painting is a masterful example of the neoclassical style, which sought to emulate the arts of ancient Greece and Rome. Hamilton, who was also an archaeologist and a dealer in antiquities, was deeply influenced by classical art and often chose subjects from ancient history and mythology for his works. "Andromache Mourning the Death of Hector" is no exception, showcasing his commitment to classical themes and his ability to convey complex human emotions.

In the painting, Andromache is seen in a state of despair, her posture and expression conveying the depth of her sorrow. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with a restrained color palette that emphasizes the somber mood of the scene. Hamilton's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the anatomical accuracy and drapery of the figures, reflects the influence of classical sculpture.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its cultural impact during the 18th century, when neoclassicism was at its peak. It reflects the period's fascination with the ancient world and its values, which were seen as a source of moral and aesthetic inspiration. "Andromache Mourning the Death of Hector" has been exhibited in various galleries and has been studied for its contribution to the neoclassical movement and its representation of classical narratives in visual art.
