EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The passing of Achilles" we are transported back to the ancient world of Greek mythology. The image, captured by renowned photographer Bridgeman Images, beautifully depicts a pivotal moment in the legendary tale of Achilles. As we gaze upon the print, our eyes are immediately drawn to the central figure - Achilles himself. Clad in his iconic armor and wielding his mighty weapons, he stands tall and proud. Yet, there is an air of melancholy surrounding him as well. Surrounding Achilles are ethereal goddesses who have come to witness his passing. Their flowing costumes and divine presence add a sense of otherworldliness to the scene. It is clear that they have gathered here not only as observers but also as mourners bidding farewell to a fallen hero. The details in this engraving are truly remarkable - from every strand of hair on Achilles' head to each intricately designed arrow at his feet. Every element has been carefully crafted by Herbert Cole, ensuring that every viewer can fully immerse themselves in this dramatic moment. "The passing of Achilles" serves as a poignant reminder that even heroes must face their own mortality. It encapsulates both the triumphs and tragedies that defined ancient Greek mythology while paying homage to Homer's epic poem, "The Iliad". This timeless piece invites us into a world where gods and mortals intertwine – reminding us all that legends never truly fade away.
