"Discovery of Achilles on Skyros" is a renowned oil painting by the French Baroque painter Nicolas Poussin, created around 1649-1650. This artwork is celebrated for its intricate depiction of a pivotal moment from Greek mythology, specifically from the narrative surrounding the Trojan War. The painting illustrates the moment when Achilles, the legendary Greek hero, is discovered by Odysseus on the island of Skyros. To avoid the war, Achilles' mother, Thetis, had hidden him among the daughters of King Lycomedes, disguised as a woman. However, Odysseus cleverly reveals Achilles' true identity, leading to his joining the Greek forces heading to Troy.

Poussin, known for his mastery in handling classical subjects, imbues this work with a keen attention to detail and a profound sense of drama. The composition is meticulously arranged, with figures carefully positioned to guide the viewer's eye towards the central action. The use of color, light, and shadow further enhances the narrative, highlighting the emotional intensity of the scene.

"Discovery of Achilles on Skyros" is a prime example of Poussin's ability to blend classical ideals with the Baroque style's dynamism and tension. This painting not only showcases Poussin's technical skill but also his intellectual engagement with ancient texts, offering a visual interpretation that is both compelling and thought-provoking. As a significant work in Poussin's oeuvre, it contributes to our understanding of 17th-century European art and its engagement with classical antiquity. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and scholars for its contribution to the Baroque period and remains a subject of study for its narrative complexity and aesthetic beauty.
