About the piece
Painted in 1601 by Pieter Schoubroeck, this intricate oil on panel captures the climactic destruction of Troy. A monumental central tower erupts in flames and flying debris, while the Trojan horse is visible in the background amid the chaos. The foreground is filled with figures fleeing the city toward a fleet of waiting ships, creating a powerful sense of movement and tragedy characteristic of the late Mannerist style.
