Any of you ever seen this painting?

It's "Andromache" by Rochegrosse and it shows the moment where Andromache is violently torn away from her child Astyanax at the end of the Trojan War. Odysseus is watching the scene from the top of the stairs, waiting for the child to throw it from the ramparts of Troy.

I've seen the original a couple years ago in Rouen, France and let me tell you, I'm not much of an art enthusiast but this painting, this scene and this imaging is haunting my mind to this day. Few paintings have ever left me speechless and this is one of them

Etruscan mirror, 4th-3rd century BC.  This bronze mirror case shows Odysseus’s homecoming, namely him reuniting with Penelope - with his dog Argos in between the two.
