"The Rape of Helen" is a neoclassical painting by Scottish artist Gavin Hamilton, completed in 1778. The painting depicts the moment from Greek mythology when Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, is abducted by Paris, prince of Troy, an act that ultimately led to the Trojan War. Hamilton's work is a reflection of the 18th-century fascination with classical antiquity, embodying the era's aesthetic values of harmony, proportion, and idealized beauty.

The painting is significant for its historical context as well as its artistic merit. Gavin Hamilton was not only a painter but also an archaeologist and a dealer in antiquities, and his works often explored themes from ancient history and mythology. "The Rape of Helen" is a prime example of how Hamilton's art was influenced by his archaeological interests and his role in the rediscovery and appreciation of classical art.

Measuring an impressive size, the painting is characterized by its grandeur and the use of clear, bright colors that enhance the dramatic effect of the scene. The composition is carefully constructed, with Helen being the central figure, showcasing Hamilton's skill in rendering the human form and his understanding of classical ideals of beauty.

"The Rape of Helen" by Gavin Hamilton is housed in a notable museum collection and has been the subject of scholarly analysis for its representation of neoclassical aesthetics and its place within the broader context of European art history. The work is often cited as an example of the crossroads between art and antiquarian pursuits that defined much of the neoclassical movement in the 18th century.
