The Aim/ Thesis
The aim of this paper currently is the discussion and analysis of the painting along with the comparison with the Hellenistic Sculpture of the same subject matter, Lancoon and his Sons. The Hellenistic Sculpture comparison is the vital element to the thesis since it allows us to see the differences between those whose myth it was and the more modern interpretation of it through the eyes of the baroque period.
