"Hector and Andromache" is a notable painting by the German artist Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein II, also known as Tischbein of Kassel (1742–1808). This artwork is an exemplification of the neoclassical style that was prevalent in the late 18th century, reflecting the period's fascination with the classical antiquity of Greece and Rome. The painting depicts a poignant scene from Homer's epic poem, the "Iliad," capturing the moment of tender farewell between the Trojan prince Hector and his wife Andromache, before Hector returns to battle during the Trojan War.

Tischbein, a member of the prolific Tischbein family of painters, was well-regarded for his portraits and historical paintings. In "Hector and Andromache," he demonstrates his skill in composition and his ability to convey deep emotion and narrative through the use of classical motifs and a restrained palette. The artwork is imbued with the pathos of impending tragedy, as it portrays the couple's intimate embrace, which is overshadowed by the foreboding of Hector's eventual death in combat.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its cultural impact, as it reflects the Enlightenment-era's ideals of heroism, virtue, and stoicism. Tischbein's rendition of this classical subject matter would have resonated with contemporary audiences, who were deeply influenced by the rediscovery and appreciation of ancient texts and artistic principles.

"Hector and Andromache" serves as an important example of Tischbein's contribution to neoclassical art and provides insight into the themes and aesthetics that dominated European art at the time. The painting is a testament to the enduring power of classical literature to inspire artists across generations and remains an object of study for art historians interested in the neoclassical movement and its expressions in visual art.
