"Hector Exposed on the Banks of the Xanthus River" is a notable oil painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Deshays de Colleville, commonly known as Jean-Baptiste Deshays. Created in the 18th century, this work of art is a vivid representation of a scene from Homer's epic poem, the Iliad. The painting depicts the poignant moment following the death of Hector, the Trojan prince and noble warrior, whose body was desecrated by Achilles, the Greek hero, in a vengeful act after the death of Achilles' close friend Patroclus.

Deshays, born in 1729 and passing in 1765, was a student of the renowned François Boucher and is known for his dynamic compositions and expressive use of color, which are evident in this particular work. "Hector Exposed on the Banks of the Xanthus River" showcases Deshays' skill in capturing the emotional intensity and drama of classical mythology, a popular subject in the art of the Rococo period.

The painting is a masterful example of the Rococo style, characterized by its elaborate and ornate qualities, with a focus on themes of love, classical myths, and the natural world. Deshays' interpretation of the tragic fate of Hector is both a reflection of his artistic prowess and the tastes of the period, which favored such grand historical and mythological scenes.
