Onderrichting van Achilles 1724

This engraving, titled "Onderrichting van Achilles" (Achilles Instructed), was created in 1724 by Dutch artist Bernard Baron. The artwork, now located in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the Greek hero Achilles being instructed by the centaur Chiron, who is known for his wisdom and ability to teach. The scene is set in a classical landscape, framed by two pillars and a floral garland. This etching captures the essence of a mythological narrative and exemplifies the Baroque style popular in the early 18th century.
