EDITORS COMMENTS
The Centaur Chiron Teaching Geography to the Young Achilles," transports us back to the 18th century with its captivating depiction of Greek mythology. In this exquisite work, the wise centaur Chiron imparts geographical knowledge to the young Achilles. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and verdant landscapes, with a globe at Chiron's feet and various animals, including a cat and a dog, gathered around. The intricate details of the animals' fur and the textured terrain are rendered with remarkable precision, adding to the image's charm. The use of black and white contrasts effectively highlights the intricate line work and the lettering that adorns the scene, adding an element of elegance and sophistication. This print, originally published in Venice in 1786, is a testament to the enduring allure of mythology and the artistry of the past. With its timeless beauty and intricate details, it continues to captivate viewers and inspire the imagination."
