EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from the ancient Greek epic, the Iliad. Achilles, the mighty warrior, has just received news of his beloved companion Patroclus' death and is overcome with grief. The artist beautifully portrays Achilles weeping bitterly as he mourns his fallen friend. In this scene, Thetis, Achilles' mother and a sea nymph, appears to console her heartbroken son. She lovingly embraces him while urging him not to rush into battle until she can provide him with new weapons. Thetis' presence brings solace to Achilles in his time of despair. The illustration is taken from an 18th-century French edition of Homer's Iliad and showcases the incredible talent of an unknown artist from that era. The intricate engravings depict every detail with precision and evoke a sense of melancholy that resonates deeply with viewers. This image serves as a reminder of the timeless power of literature and mythology. It transports us back to ancient Greece, where emotions ran high on the battlefield and gods intervened in mortal affairs. Through this artwork, we are reminded of our shared human experiences: love, loss, and the need for comfort during times of sorrow. Giancarlo Costa's expert curation ensures that this historical gem continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts worldwide.
