Sous l’emprise de Vénus, déesse de l’amour, le prince troyen Pâris a enlevé Hélene, épouse du roi grec Ménélas. Alternant avec les sujets héroïques et sévères qui l'ont rendu célèbre, David illustre ici l'idylle amoureuse, dans un décor luxueux, riche de références à l'art grec antique.
 
Paris and Helen
Oil on canvas, 1788
Based on the Iliad, an epic poem by Homer (8th century BC)
Under the influence of Venus, the goddes, of love, the Trojan prince Paris has kidnapped Helen, the wife of the Greek king Menelaus. Contrasting with the serious, heroic subjects that made him famous, this painting by David is an idyllic love scene in a luxurious setting, with multiple references to ancient Greek art.
