EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Le bouclier d'Achille" based on the description by Homer. The intricate details of this ancient artifact are brought to life through the artistry of hand-colored etching, dating back to 1814. The print is part of a larger work titled "Le Jupiter olympien: ou L'art de la sculpture antique considere sous un nouveau point de vue" authored by Quatremere de Quincy in the late 18th century. This comprehensive masterpiece delves into various aspects of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture, including an exploration of polychrome sculpting techniques, an explanatory analysis of toreutics, and a historical account of statuary in gold and ivory. Within this remarkable composition lies the essence of Achilles' shield as described by Homer himself. Its grandeur is evident as it stands as a testament to both artistic skill and mythological significance. Through meticulous restoration efforts, this piece allows us to witness firsthand the magnificence that once adorned the battle gear worn by one of Greece's greatest heroes. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in an era where craftsmanship was revered and storytelling took shape through masterful sculptures like Achille's shield. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these works continue to inspire awe and admiration for their beauty and cultural importance
