EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching on ivory laid paper, created by the renowned German artist Johann Heinrich Tischbein in 1757, depicts the poignant moment between the legendary Greek figure, Thetis, and her beloved son, Achilles. Thetis, a powerful Nereid and sea nymph, is shown tenderly cradling her son, who is gazing up at her with an expression of deep affection. The scene is a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of childhood and the inescapable realities of war and heroism that awaited Achilles in his future. The etching is a masterful depiction of the ancient Greek mythology, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of a bygone era. Tischbein's intricate etching techniques bring the figures to life, with the delicate lines and shading creating a sense of depth and dimension. The use of black and white adds to the timeless quality of the artwork, transporting viewers back to the 18th century and the world of ancient Greece. This print is a rare and valuable addition to any art collection, and a must-see for anyone with an interest in mythology, history, or the art of the 18th century. It is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
