"Fight of Achilles with the River Scamander 4" is a notable work by the German Romantic artist Philipp Otto Runge, created during the early 19th century. This artwork is part of a series of representations that depict the legendary battle between the Greek hero Achilles and the personified river god Scamander from Homer's epic poem, the Iliad. The series illustrates the climactic confrontation during the Trojan War, where the river, angered by the slaughter Achilles has caused, rises against him.

Philipp Otto Runge (1777–1810) was a seminal figure in the German Romantic movement, and his work is characterized by a deep interest in color theory, symbolism, and the exploration of religious and mythological themes. "Fight of Achilles with the River Scamander 4" exemplifies Runge's innovative approach to composition and his use of vivid colors to convey emotional intensity and the drama of the narrative.

The painting is a testament to Runge's artistic vision, where he sought to transcend the traditional boundaries of artistic expression by integrating literature, philosophy, and theology. His interpretation of the mythological subject matter reflects the Romantic era's preoccupation with heroism, nature's power, and the sublime. Although Runge's life was cut short by tuberculosis at the age of 33, his contributions to the Romantic movement were profound, influencing subsequent generations of artists.

The "Fight of Achilles with the River Scamander 4" is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its place within the broader context of Runge's oeuvre and the Romantic period. The work is housed in a collection that preserves Runge's legacy and is studied for its innovative techniques and its role in the development of German Romanticism.
