スイスに生まれ、ローマやロンドンで活躍した新古典主義の画家カウフマンは、女性としては当時めずらしく歴史画の領域で国際的な成功をおさめました。充実したロンドン時代に描かれた本作は、トロイア戦争を詠った古代ギリシャの叙事詩『イーリアス』にもとづき、スパルタ王の妻ヘレネとの恋に溺れるトロイア王子のパリスに対して兄ヘクトールが戦場へ戻るように諌める場面を取りあげています。ここではパリスの姿もどこか女性的で、画面左の侍女たちもふくめて画面には非戦闘的な雰囲気が漂っています。カウフマンはトロイア戦争の物語中でも、夫の無事を祈るペネロペなど、女性の立場を代弁する主題をしばしば取りあげましたが、本作も同様の観点から描かれたのでしょう。（出典: 展示室作品解説パネル）

A Neoclassical artist who worked in Rome and London, Angelica Kauffman gained an international reputation for history painting. Taking its theme from the Greek epic poem The Iliad, this work shows the Trojan prince Hector upbraiding his younger brother Paris whose elopement with Helen, the queen of Sparta, triggered the Trojan War: he is angry with him for leaving the battleground. Kauffman, in tackling historical themes, often adopts the female point of view, as she does here by softening the martial tone. (Source: Gallery label, July 2016)
