About the piece
Painted in 1742 by Jean-François de Troy, this dynamic oil work captures the climactic moment Jason seizes the Golden Fleece. The scene is filled with theatrical energy, from the defeated dragon at his feet to the towering ship mast and the expressive onlookers, all rendered with the spirited, luminous brushwork characteristic of the Rococo period.
