Workshop of Jacob Jordaens
(Antwerp 1593–1678)
Achilles recognised among the Daughters of Lycomedes,
oil on canvas, 153.5 x 170 cm, framed
Provenance:
Private collection, Belgium
On the island of Scyros, Achilles, the destined hero of the Trojan War, lived in disguise among King Lycomedes’ daughters, concealed as a girl. Within the palace walls, he formed deep connections, particularly with Deidamia, living a life seemingly untouched by war. However, as the tumultuous events of the Trojan War loomed closer, Greek envoys, led by the shrewd Odysseus, arrived on Scyros seeking Achilles.
Odysseus devised a clever ploy, presenting an array of gifts, including weapons, within the court. While the princesses remained disinterested, Achilles, unable to suppress his innate warrior spirit, was drawn to the weaponry. Exposed, he could no longer deny his true identity and reluctantly joined the Greek expedition to Troy, leaving behind a heartbroken Deidamia. This revelation marked the turning point in Achilles’ life, setting him on the path to legendary heroism and eternal glory on the battlefields of Troy.
