Odysseus herkent Achilles before 1737

"Odysseus herkent Achilles" is an etching by Dutch artist Pieter van den Berge, created before 1737. The artwork depicts a scene from the Trojan War where Odysseus recognizes Achilles disguised as a woman among Trojan women. The scene is set in a grand architectural space, with a statue of a classical figure on the left, symbolizing the idealized hero Achilles. The composition is dynamic and filled with detail, illustrating the story of the Trojan War. This etching is an example of the detailed illustrative style of the Baroque period. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
