"Achilles Dragging Hector's Corpse Around the Walls of Troy" is a notable work by the Italian painter Giuseppe Bernardino Bison, an artist active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This painting depicts the legendary scene from Homer's ancient Greek epic poem, the Iliad, where Achilles, in a rage over the death of his friend Patroclus, seeks revenge against Hector, the Trojan prince. After slaying Hector in battle, Achilles desecrates his body by dragging it behind his chariot around the walls of the besieged city of Troy, refusing to return the corpse to Hector's grieving family for proper funeral rites.

Bison, known for his work in the neoclassical and romantic styles, captures the drama and brutality of this mythological event with vivid detail and emotional intensity. The painting is a testament to the artist's skill in conveying movement and pathos, as well as his ability to interpret classical themes through the lens of his own historical context. The artwork serves as an example of the enduring influence of classical antiquity on European art, particularly during a period when artists sought to revive and reinterpret ancient ideals and narratives.

The painting's composition, use of color, and dynamic brushwork all contribute to the overall impact of the scene, highlighting Bison's talents and his contribution to the artistic movements of his time. "Achilles Dragging Hector's Corpse Around the Walls of Troy" remains an important piece within Bison's oeuvre, offering insight into the cultural and artistic preoccupations of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, as well as the broader European tradition of historical and mythological painting.
