"Achille: A Journey Through History, Art, and War" Step into the world as we explore various aspects of history, art, and war. From Achilles Lamenting the Death of Patroclus in 1760-63 to a line engraving from the 19th century depicting this sorrowful scene. The Battle of Waterloo in 1815 brings us face to face with Napoleon's defeat, while an engraving from Milan Royal Palace takes us on a visual journey through Italy. But it doesn't stop there - we encounter everyday life too. A Cleaners Delivery Van reminds us of the hustle and bustle of city streets, while an advert for Achille Serre Ltd in London captures our attention with its promises. Marshal Francois Achille Bazaine emerges as a prominent figure in French military history. His contributions are highlighted alongside Beltrame's involvement in both the Second Boer War and battles within Transwaal. Intriguingly, we delve into spiritual realms as well. Spirits materialize at a seance organized by Achille Borgnis; their ethereal presence illuminated by luminous plaques circa 1920. Lastly, we touch upon French colonization during the Siege of Constantine in Algeria - shedding light on historical events that have shaped nations. Join us on this captivating journey through time as we uncover different facets of "Achille" - where art meets war and history intertwines with daily life.
