French school of the end of the XVIIth century The Abduction of Helen Oil on canvas (wear and restoration) Dimensions : 124 x 183,5 cm Mythology tells us that Helen, born of the union of Zeus and Leda, was, after the goddess Aphrodite, the most beautiful woman in the world. Wife of the king of Sparta Menelaus, she met the young Trojan prince Paris, who came to Sparta as an ambassador for peace. Unhappy with Menelaus, she fell madly in love with the young Paris who decided to take her with him when he left for Troy. Menelaus' anger was such that he convinced his brother Agamemnon, the most powerful Greek king, to declare war on Troy. Expert : Alexis Bordes
