EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pierre Puget's "Sketch of Achilles Education by the Centaur Chiron" a masterpiece from 1694. The oil on canvas painting, measuring 50x35 cm, can be found at the Palais de Longchamp in Marseille, France. Jean Bernard has skillfully captured this artwork that depicts an intriguing blend of boar hunting, mythology, and education. In this scene from ancient Rome, we witness a horseman engaging in a tournament with a lance while being guided by the mythical centaur Chiron. This fusion of human and horse symbolizes both power and learning. The composition exudes heroism as it explores the educational journey of Achilles under Chiron's tutelage. The artist expertly portrays the wild boar as both a formidable opponent and an essential element in this game-like competition. Through his brushstrokes, Puget captures the essence of French empire aesthetics combined with elements reminiscent of pagan polytheism. This sketch not only highlights the artist's technical prowess but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in ancient Roman culture. It offers viewers insight into mythological characters and their significance within society during that time period. Jean Bernard's photograph beautifully preserves this remarkable piece of art history for all to appreciate its timeless beauty and historical importance.
