The discovery of the hero Achilles among Lycomedes’s daughters was a subject that the classically educated van Dyck knew well; his contemporary Rubens also portrayed it. The exquisite attention to detail - the intricate folds of a robe, the musculature of a dog - and the flawless composition demonstrate Van Dyck’s superb artistry. This Mixed-Media painting of Odysseus discovering Achilles is perfect for Italian interior design and luxury homes in Barton Creek, Austin, Texas.
