EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "Achilles Discovered" by Angelica Kauffmann takes us back to the ancient world of Greek mythology. The 102x127.5 cm artwork, now part of a private collection, depicts a pivotal moment in the legendary tale of Achilles. In this neoclassical masterpiece, we witness Achilles disguised as a girl at the court of the king of Skyros. However, his secret is about to be revealed as Odysseus uncovers his true identity. The tension and anticipation are palpable as we see Achilles' armor and sword lying nearby, ready to expose his deception. Kauffmann's skillful brushwork brings forth an array of emotions from both men and women gathered in this scene. The mythological figures come alive with their expressive faces and body language, adding depth to this classical narrative. The artist masterfully captures the essence of Greek mythology through her attention to detail and adherence to classical aesthetics. Through her work, she invites us into a world where gods and heroes intertwine with mortals in epic tales that have captivated audiences for centuries. As we gaze upon this painting from eRafael Valls Gallery in London, UK - courtesy of Bridgeman Images - we are transported back in time to witness one of history's most iconic revelations: when Achilles is unmasked before all who had been deceived by his disguise.
