"Ulisse scopre Achille tra le figlie di Licomede" is a notable oil painting by the French artist Louis Gauffier, created in the late 18th century. The painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology, specifically from the events leading up to the Trojan War. According to the myth, Thetis, the mother of Achilles, knowing that her son was destined to die if he went to Troy, disguised him as a girl and hid him among the daughters of King Lycomedes on the island of Scyros.

The artwork captures the moment when the hero Odysseus, also known as Ulysses in Latin, cunningly reveals Achilles' true identity. To do so, Odysseus arrives at the court of Lycomedes under the guise of a peddler selling wares, including weapons. While the king's daughters marvel at the jewelry and dresses, Achilles, driven by his innate warrior's instinct, is drawn to the weapons, thus betraying his disguise.

Louis Gauffier, a prominent painter of his time, was known for his classical and historical subjects, and this painting is a fine example of his work in the neoclassical style. The composition, with its attention to detail and dramatic narrative, reflects the aesthetic values of the period, emphasizing clarity, order, and the idealized beauty of the figures.

"Ulisse scopre Achille tra le figlie di Licomede" is not only a representation of a mythological episode but also an embodiment of the cultural and artistic trends of the Enlightenment, showcasing the renewed interest in classical antiquity. Gauffier's painting is significant for its artistic merit and for its contribution to the visual interpretation of classical literature.

The painting is part of the collections of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic craftsmanship. As a work that captures the essence of neoclassical painting, it holds an important place in the history of European art and continues to be a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts alike.
