Cornelis de Baellieur (Workshop of Frans Francken II)
Achilles between the daughters of Lycomedes is a subject that many painters, especially from the Baroque period, chose for their paintings.
The myth goes that Achilles was disguised as a woman by his mother and hidden between the daughters of Lycomedes, in order not to participate in the Trojan War. He did not want to, because an oracle had predicted that he would die in the Trojan War. He fell in love with one of them, Deidamia, with whom he began a secret relationship. Deidamia became pregnant. However, he was discovered by Odysseus and Diomedes or Nestor.
Cornelis de Baellieur (Antwerp, 1607 - 1671) was a Southern Dutch painter from the Baroque period.
