Zeuxis Selecting Models for His Painting of Helen of Troy is a c.1778 history painting by the Swiss artist Angelica Kauffman. The painting features a legendary scene featuring the Ancient Greek painter Zeuxis who attempting to produce a picture of Helen of Troy struggled to find a model to capture her celebrated beauty. Ultimately he chose five different women from the island of Crotone in Magna Graecia to produce a composite work of ideal beauty.
Kauffman was a leading artist of the Neoclassical style and she sought to provide authenticity by basing the stances of the various women on classical statues. Today the painting is in the collection of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
