EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink print, titled "Achilles mourning the death of Patroclus" by Charles Pierre Joseph Normand, beautifully captures a poignant moment from Greek mythology. The artwork measures 36x32 cm and is housed in the Bibliothèque Paul-Marmottan in Boulogne-Billancourt, France. In this scene, Achilles, the legendary hero of the Trojan War, is depicted grieving over the loss of his dear friend Patroclus. The artist skillfully portrays Achilles' deep sorrow as he sits on a chair with his head bowed low in misery. His sandals and spear lie forgotten at his feet while he clutches a jug tightly in one hand. The monochrome composition adds to the somber atmosphere surrounding Achilles' grief-stricken figure. A table adorned with vessels and jugs stands nearby, symbolizing both their shared past and their tragic separation. Normand's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen. From Achilles' disheveled hair to his tear-streaked face, each element conveys raw emotion that resonates with viewers across time. This drawing serves as a powerful reminder of love lost and honors the enduring bond between these mythological figures. It invites us to reflect on themes such as friendship, sacrifice, and mortality that transcend ancient legends. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder platform (not affiliated with any company), we are transported into an emotional realm where
