"Automedon with the Horse of Achilles" is a notable painting by the 19th-century French artist William Anton Joseph Claus. This artwork, created in 1868, is a striking example of the neoclassical style that was prevalent during the period, characterized by its emphasis on classical themes, precise draftsmanship, and idealized forms.

The painting depicts Automedon, the charioteer of Achilles, a prominent figure in Greek mythology and Homer's epic, the Iliad. In the narrative, Automedon is known for his loyalty and skill in handling Achilles' horses, particularly during the Trojan War. Claus captures a moment of intense interaction between Automedon and one of Achilles' divine horses, Xanthos, who, according to myth, was capable of speech and possessed extraordinary strength and speed.

Claus's composition is both dynamic and dramatic, showcasing his mastery in rendering the human form and equine anatomy with meticulous detail. The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the muscular tension and emotional intensity of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the powerful connection between man and beast. The background, though less detailed, provides a sense of the mythological setting, allowing the central figures to dominate the canvas.

"Automedon with the Horse of Achilles" reflects the 19th-century fascination with classical antiquity and the heroic ideals embodied in ancient Greek literature. Claus's work is a testament to his technical skill and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. The painting is held in high regard and is part of the collection at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
