"Andromache and Astyanax" is a neoclassical painting by the French artist Pierre-Paul Prud'hon, created in the early 19th century. The artwork captures a poignant moment from ancient Greek history and mythology, depicting the widow Andromache, wife of the Trojan hero Hector, holding her young son Astyanax. The painting is renowned for its emotional depth and the tender portrayal of the mother and child, reflecting the neoclassical emphasis on classical themes, idealized figures, and moral narratives.

The scene is set in the aftermath of the Trojan War, a subject that has inspired artists for centuries. Andromache is shown in a moment of deep sorrow and vulnerability, as she contemplates the grim fate of her son, who, according to legend, was thrown from the walls of Troy by the victorious Greeks to prevent him from avenging his father's death. Prud'hon's work is characterized by its soft lighting, delicate brushwork, and the gentle, yet tragic interaction between the figures, which conveys the intense emotions of the narrative.

Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (1758–1823) was a prominent French painter and draughtsman, known for blending the sensuality of the Rococo with the more austere and formal neoclassical style. His unique approach to neoclassicism set him apart from his contemporaries, earning him a distinct place in the history of French art. "Andromache and Astyanax" is considered one of his significant works, showcasing his ability to infuse classical subjects with a sense of immediacy and psychological depth.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and contribution to the neoclassical movement. It has been exhibited in various art institutions and is studied for its historical context, emotional resonance, and Prud'hon's distinctive style that bridges the transition between the late 18th and early 19th centuries in European art.
