About the Item
Trojan Horse No. 2 is a contemporary abstract oil painting by David Richardson. It is part of his Trojan War Series, inspired by Homer. According to the myth, Greek soldiers captured the city of Troy after Odysseus suggested building a giant wooden horse as an offering to Athena. The Trojans welcomed the horse into its city gates, unaware of the armed Greek soldiers hidden inside. This piece has elements of the horse as well as a torrent of dark red to symbolize the Trojan massacre.
