EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century illustration, titled "Meeting of Achilles and Hector" by the Master of Girart de Roussillon, depicts a pivotal moment in Greek mythology and the Trojan Wars. The scene unfolds in an ancient city, with the walls of Troy visible in the background. Hector, the Trojan prince, rides his horse towards Achilles, the legendary Greek warrior, who stands ready for battle. The two figures, dressed in rich robes and adorned with intricate detail, engage in a heated conversation, their faces expressing intense emotion. The illustration is a stunning example of illuminated manuscript art, with vibrant colors and meticulous lettering adding to its beauty. The Master of Girart de Roussillon expertly captures the historical and cultural significance of the moment, making it a prized possession in the annals of art history. This miniature on vellum, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the enduring legacy of Greek mythology and the artistic prowess of the 15th century.
