About the piece
Painted in 1777 by Gavin Hamilton, this Neoclassical masterpiece captures a pivotal moment from Homeric legend. Venus, draped in rich gold and grey, presents the beautiful Helen to Paris, who sits in heroic armor. The composition is anchored by sweeping red curtains and classical architecture, typical of the artist's refined and academic style which helped define the Neoclassical movement.
