About the piece
Painted by Dirck Metius in 1627, this classical narrative work captures the moment Cassandra foretells the fall of Troy. The composition balances the central figure's emotional gesture against a detailed backdrop of classical architecture, a bustling crowd of soldiers, and the ominous presence of the Trojan Horse in the distance.
