Achilles Discovered Among the Daughters of Lycomedes is a painting by the French artist Jean Lemaire. This artwork depicts a scene from Greek mythology where the hero Achilles is discovered by Odysseus while hiding among the daughters of King Lycomedes. According to the myth, Thetis, Achilles' mother, disguised him as a girl to prevent him from joining the Trojan War, as she knew he was fated to die there. Odysseus, tasked with finding Achilles, cleverly revealed his identity by presenting gifts of jewelry and weapons to the women. Achilles instinctively reached for the weapons, thus revealing himself.

Jean Lemaire, an artist of the 17th century, was known for his classical style and attention to detail. His work often focused on historical and mythological themes, capturing the drama and emotion of the stories he portrayed. In this painting, Lemaire skillfully uses composition and color to highlight the moment of Achilles' revelation. The expressions and gestures of the figures are carefully crafted to convey the tension and surprise of the scene.

The painting is notable for its use of light and shadow, which adds depth and dimension to the figures and setting. Lemaire's attention to the intricate details of the costumes and the setting reflects his dedication to historical accuracy and artistic precision. The artwork is a fine example of the Baroque style, characterized by its dynamic movement and emotional intensity.

Achilles Discovered Among the Daughters of Lycomedes is housed in a prominent art collection, where it continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and storytelling. The painting serves as a testament to Lemaire's skill in bringing mythological narratives to life, capturing the imagination of viewers with its vivid portrayal of a pivotal moment in Achilles' story.
