"Achille and Briseis" is an etching by Agostino Carracci, an Italian artist of the late 16th century, depicting the Greek hero Achilles embracing his captive Briseis, a scene drawn from Homer's epic poem The Iliad. This work is notable for its dramatic composition, detailed anatomical renderings, and emphasis on classical mythology, all hallmarks of Carracci's artistic style. The etching's powerful portrayal of the couple's embrace underscores the passion and complexity of their relationship, drawing viewers into the heart of the epic tale.
