About the piece
Painted in 1810 by Jérôme-Martin Langlois, this powerful work depicts the Trojan priestess Cassandra in a moment of desperate prayer. The composition uses striking light and shadow to emphasize her form against the dark, atmospheric temple interior, while a secondary scene in the background provides narrative depth to the mythological tragedy.
