"Andromache Mourning Hector" is a neoclassical painting completed in 1783 by the French artist Jacques-Louis David, who is widely regarded as a preeminent figure in the neoclassical movement. The painting depicts a poignant scene from Homer's epic poem, the "Iliad," capturing the moment of profound grief experienced by Andromache, the wife of the Trojan hero Hector, after learning of her husband's death at the hands of Achilles during the Trojan War.

The artwork is a masterful representation of the neoclassical style, characterized by its clarity of form, sober colors, and use of classical subjects. David's composition focuses on the emotional intensity of Andromache's sorrow, as she mourns over Hector's lifeless body. The painting's subject matter reflects the Enlightenment ideals of the time, emphasizing the virtues of stoicism and the moral fortitude of the characters from classical antiquity.

Measuring 275 cm × 203 cm, "Andromache Mourning Hector" is a testament to David's skill in conveying complex emotions through his art. The painting's dramatic expression, combined with its historical and literary significance, has made it an important work in the oeuvre of Jacques-Louis David and a valuable piece for the study of 18th-century French painting.

The painting is held in high esteem for its historical accuracy in costume and setting, as well as for its emotional impact, which resonates with the viewer through the ages. As a work that predates David's more politically charged pieces, such as "The Death of Marat," it offers insight into the development of his artistic style and thematic focus. "Andromache Mourning Hector" remains an influential work in the history of Western art and continues to be studied for its aesthetic and cultural significance.
