"Ajax and Cassandra" is a painting by British artist Solomon Joseph Solomon, created in 1886. This work of art is a representation of a scene from Greek mythology, depicting the moment when the Trojan princess Cassandra is seized by the Greek hero Ajax the Lesser in the temple of Athena during the sack of Troy. The painting is notable for its dramatic intensity and its vivid portrayal of the characters' emotions.

Solomon J. Solomon, born in 1860, was a prolific painter associated with the academicism of the Victorian era, and he was known for his historical and mythological subjects. "Ajax and Cassandra" is considered one of his significant works, showcasing his skill in composition, use of color, and ability to convey narrative through visual art.

The painting captures the brutality of the Trojan War and the tragic fate of Cassandra, who was cursed by Apollo to utter true prophecies that would never be believed. In the artwork, Ajax is seen dragging Cassandra away from the statue of Athena, to which she clings in a futile attempt to claim sanctuary. The desecration of the temple by Ajax would later lead to his death as a punishment from the gods.

"Ajax and Cassandra" reflects Solomon's academic training and his interest in classical themes. The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, receiving critical acclaim for its powerful depiction of the mythological event. The artwork remains an important example of late 19th-century British painting, illustrating the enduring influence of ancient myths on the visual arts.

The painting is part of the permanent collection of the Art Gallery of Ballarat in Victoria, Australia, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical and artistic value. Solomon's work, including "Ajax and Cassandra," contributes to the understanding of Victorian art and its engagement with classical antiquity.
