EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th-century print depicts the poignant moment of Achilles' death during the Trojan War. The scene unfolds at the center of the image, where the mythological Greek hero, clad in armor and holding his shield, lies mortally wounded on the battlefield. His loyal friend and comrade, Patroclus, kneels beside him, tears streaming down his face as he cradles Achilles' head. The print, created around 1470, is a masterpiece of Flemish art, most likely produced in the workshops of Tournai or Bruges. The intricate details of the artwork are evident in the richly textured cloth and wool garments worn by the figures, as well as the meticulously rendered folds and creases in the fabric. Apollo, the god of the sun and prophesied to be the cause of Achilles' demise, stands at the upper left corner of the print, watching over the scene with a solemn expression. The god's presence underscores the inexorable nature of fate and the inevitability of Achilles' death. This print is part of a series of religious and mythological scenes that were popular during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance periods. It is believed that the series was intended for a temple or other religious institution, and was likely used as a decorative element or as a teaching tool for the illiterate population. The print is a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the time, with its intricate details and masterful use of color and composition. The image of Achilles' death continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a poignant reminder of the human condition and the inexorable passage of time.
