EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Achilles: deciding to resume fighting upon the death of Patrocles" artist Theodore van Baburen takes us back to the heart-wrenching moments of the Trojan War. The image showcases Achilles, a legendary Greek hero, standing tall and resolute amidst the chaos and devastation that surrounds him. Clad in his formidable armor, Achilles holds his spear firmly in one hand while gripping his shield with determination. His face bears a mix of grief and anger as he contemplates avenging the death of his dear friend Patroclus, whose absence is keenly felt on the battlefield. The composition exudes strength and power, emphasizing Achilles' unwavering resolve to rejoin the fight against Troy. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate engravings on Achilles' armor to the subtle play of light and shadow across his muscular frame. This print serves as a poignant reminder of both love and loss within ancient mythology. It captures a pivotal moment when Achilles makes up his mind - no longer will he mourn but instead unleash fury upon those responsible for Patroclus' demise. Bridgeman Images has preserved this masterpiece from Dutch history, allowing us to appreciate its artistic brilliance centuries later. As we gaze at this remarkable depiction, we are transported into an epic tale where heroes rise above their pain and forge ahead with indomitable spirit.
