"Fight of Achilles with the River Scamander" is a notable work by German Romantic artist Philipp Otto Runge, created during the early 19th century. The painting is a visual interpretation of a scene from Homer's ancient Greek epic poem, the "Iliad," where the hero Achilles battles the personified river god Scamander during the Trojan War. Runge's depiction is characterized by its dramatic portrayal of the mythological encounter, showcasing his skill in capturing movement and emotion, as well as his use of color and composition to convey the intensity of the scene.

Philipp Otto Runge (1777–1810) was a seminal figure in the Romantic movement, and his work often explored themes of nature, myth, and spirituality. "Fight of Achilles with the River Scamander" reflects Runge's fascination with the supernatural and the sublime, elements that are central to Romanticism. The painting is also significant for its contribution to the development of German Romantic art, as Runge's innovative approach to subject matter and technique influenced his contemporaries and later generations of artists.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is believed to have been produced during Runge's most productive period, when he was actively engaged in exploring the symbolic and expressive potential of art. The work is notable for its ambitious scale and the complexity of its narrative content, which challenges the viewer to engage with the mythological subject matter on both an emotional and intellectual level.

"Fight of Achilles with the River Scamander" remains an important example of Runge's artistic legacy and is studied for its contribution to the Romantic movement as well as its place in the broader context of European art history. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and is considered a valuable piece for understanding the evolution of narrative and mythological painting in the 19th century.
