Vessel fragment Achilles

Vessel fragment, young Achilles brought to his teacher Centaur Chiron by his father, Ancient Greek Classical period about 500 B.C.

Young Achilles is depicted being brought to his teacher Centaur Chiron by his father. The painter responsible for this scene, known as the ‘Painter of Achilles’, is considered the most significant artist of his time. He has left us with 219 pottery paintings, 98 of which are of the ‘White Lekythos’ type. His masterpieces combine perfect, expressive and fluent drawing with a warm and simple color harmony of a few soft different tones, achieving a balance between natural beauty and spirituality.
The specific scene portrays young Achilles being handed over by his father Peleus to Centaur Chiron for upbringing. The artist’s clear and realistic vision, coupled with a deep understanding of the characters, transforms an idyllic natural setting into a significant and serious episode in the life of the most popular hero, highlighting the importance of youth education in ancient Greece.

Handmade, hand painted museum-quality artwork.
