Description
This is a reproduction of "Achilles and the Centaur Chiron" of 1746 by Pompeo Batoni. According to Greek Mythology Achilles was trained in warfare by the wise centaur Chiron. This became a favorite subject during the Renaissance and continued into the Baroque. Batoni was thirty-eight when he created this masterpiece having been born in Lucca and apprentice in Rome from the age of nineteen. He was gained a patron in Gabrielli di Gubbio five years later and his fame spread. He became a member of the Accademia di San Luca in 1741 and became an Austrian noble for his double painting of Joseph II and Leopold II. He died in Rome in 1787. This masterpiece is 127 cm wide and 159 cm high and is in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
