EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a ceramic charger depicting the mythical figures of Cheiron and Achilleus. Created by William De Morgan, a prominent artist of the Arts and Crafts Movement, this stunning piece measures 50.2 cm in diameter and is part of the De Morgan Collection, courtesy of the De Morgan Foundation. In this design, we see a stylized representation of Achilleus, the legendary Greek hero known for his prowess in battle. He is depicted alongside Cheiron, a wise centaur who served as his tutor in mythology. The plate beautifully captures their dynamic relationship as teacher and student. The intricate details on this tondo dish are remarkable; from Achilleus' bow to Cheiron's serene expression, every element tells a story. The mythological theme adds an air of mystique to this artwork while also showcasing De Morgan's mastery in ceramics. This piece not only exemplifies the craftsmanship associated with the Arts and Crafts Movement but also pays homage to classical mythology. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these ancient tales continue to inspire artists across different eras. With its rich symbolism and impeccable execution, this charger brings together history, artistry, and storytelling into one mesmerizing composition. It stands as a testament to both De Morgan's talent as an artist and his deep appreciation for mythological narratives.
