EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving takes us back to the ancient world of mythology, where we witness a powerful scene between the centaur Chiron and the legendary hero Achilles. The print is based on a Roman fresco discovered in Herculanum, now housed in the Archaeological Museum of Naples. In this mesmerizing artwork, Chiron stands tall and majestic as he imparts his wisdom to Achilles. As a wise and knowledgeable centaur, Chiron was known for his exceptional teaching skills and mentorship of heroes. Here, he shares his vast knowledge with Achilles, who listens attentively. Achilles, portrayed as a strong and determined figure, represents heroism at its finest. He is destined for greatness but seeks guidance from Chiron to fulfill his potential. This encounter captures an important moment in their relationship - one that will shape Achilles' future path. The artist's skillful engraving technique brings out intricate details and textures found within the original fresco. From the delicate lines etched into each character's form to the nuanced shading that adds depth to their expressions - every element contributes to creating an evocative visual narrative. As we gaze upon this enchanting print from Giancarlo Costa's collection, we are transported into a mythical realm filled with gods, heroes, and extraordinary creatures like Chiron. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with ancient legends and our eternal quest for knowledge and enlightenment.
