"Hector Reproaching Paris" is a notable oil painting by the French artist Louis-Vincent-Léon Pallière, created in 1805. This work of art captures a scene from Homer's epic poem, the Iliad, where Hector, the Trojan prince and greatest warrior of Troy, confronts his brother Paris for his lack of participation in the ongoing Trojan War. The painting is a classic example of the neoclassical style, which was prevalent in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, characterized by its emphasis on clarity, order, and the ideals of ancient Greek and Roman art.

In the painting, Pallière illustrates the moment of moral and familial tension between the two brothers with dramatic effect. Hector, clad in armor and exuding a sense of duty and martial valor, is depicted admonishing Paris, who is portrayed with an air of nonchalance and romantic idealism, indicative of his reputation for prioritizing love over duty. The contrast between the two figures serves to highlight the themes of honor, responsibility, and the consequences of personal choices in times of conflict.

Louis-Vincent-Léon Pallière (1780–1820) was a student of the esteemed Jacques-Louis David, and his work often reflects the influence of his mentor, particularly in the use of classical themes and the representation of heroic masculinity. "Hector Reproaching Paris" is considered one of Pallière's significant contributions to neoclassical painting, and it has been appreciated for its historical subject matter, its emotional resonance, and its technical execution.

The painting is part of the collection of the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance. As a representation of a pivotal moment in one of the most important works of Western literature, "Hector Reproaching Paris" remains an enduring example of the neoclassical tradition and its impact on the visual arts.
