EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Tarentine Sculpture depicting Thetis with the Armour of Achilles, dating back to around 350-320 BC. Crafted by the Greek School in the 4th century BC, this painted and gilded terracotta masterpiece is now held in a private collection. The sculpture portrays Thetis, the mother of Achilles, adorned with his legendary armor. Every intricate detail has been meticulously captured, from her flowing tunic to the ornate breastplate and armure embellishments. The Hellenistic influence is evident in the dragon motif that adorns her attire. Originating from Taranto, a Greek colony in Southern Italy known as Tarentum during ancient times, this artwork represents an exquisite example of classical artistry. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its connection to one of Greek mythology's most iconic figures. Photographed by eHeini Schneebeli and made available through Bridgeman Images, this image captures the essence of ancient Greece while showcasing their mastery over sculpting techniques. With no copyright restrictions on this photograph, it serves as a valuable resource for those seeking insight into classical art history.
