About the piece
Created circa 1810 by Pierre-Narcisse Guérin, this work is a quintessential example of French Neoclassicism. It depicts a tense narrative moment between Andromaque and Pyrrhus, characterized by crisp lighting, heroic anatomy, and the disciplined, stage-like composition favored by the academy during the Napoleonic era.
