EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the Trojan War, as depicted in Homer's Iliad. In this intense scene, Achilles seeks revenge for the death of his dear friend Patroclus by engaging in a brutal hand-to-hand combat with Hector, the noble warrior of Troy. After emerging victorious, Achilles displays his wrath and triumph by dragging Hector's lifeless body behind his chariot before the towering walls of Troy. Bernard Picart skillfully brings this mythological event to life through his intricate illustration. The attention to detail in every stroke transports us back to ancient times, where Greek mythology and history intertwine. This archival piece serves as a visual portal into an era filled with epic battles and legendary heroes. The image not only showcases the clash between two mighty warriors but also symbolizes the deep-rooted animosity between Trojans and Achaeans during this fabled conflict. It offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics that shaped ancient societies and their struggles for power. As we gaze upon this vintage engraving, we are reminded of Turkey's rich historical heritage, where Troy once stood proudly amidst its ancient landscapes. Ken Welsh has masterfully captured this iconic moment from antiquity, preserving it within our collective memory for generations to come.
