OGCMA s.v. "Achilles on Scyros"

Jean Lemaire, "Achilles Discovered Among the Daughters of Lycomedes," c. 1640-45, oil on canvas, William Randolph Hearst Collection 49.17.16, Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

This large picture is comparable in its account of Achilles on Scyros to the theme made so popular in 17th century painting and other arts.

There may be some confusion in Reid's listing: AchillesScyros0044, attributed to Pierre Lemaire and owned by LACMA, is listed beside AchillesScyros0033, Jean Lemaire's "Achilles on Scyros" 'sold London 1947, unlocated [Pigler 1974, p. 281].' My listing coincides with the LACMA catalog of Schaefer & Fusco 1987.

Lemaire, Achilles Scyros
