The Reconciliation of Helen and Paris after his Defeat by Menelaus

Artist: Richard Westall (English, 1765–1836)

Date: Exhibited 1805

Medium: Oil paint on wood

Collection: TATE Britain

Description

This painting is inspired by Greek legend: Helen was married to Menelaus, king of Sparta. Her affair with the Trojan prince, Paris, led to the Trojan War.

Richard Westall painted this scene for Thomas Hope, a wealthy collector. His London home had rooms designed and furnished in the different styles of the ancient world – Egypt, India, Greece and Rome. Westall modelled the figure of Helen on a Greek statue in Hope’s collection.

In the 1790s Westall’s Royal Academy exhibits were the talk of the town. His flashy paint effects divided opinion, however, and many thought his work was too stylised and unnatural.

Hades Carrying Eros to the Underworld

Inspired by a painting of the same name. (Richard Westall) When i seen the original i felt the concept had… a lot of potential. I’ll leave it to you to search it up, it’s much different than what I’ve imagined. ^^ Prints are available in my shop! In this colour (terracotta) and rose.
