About the piece
This 1677 masterpiece by Gerard de Lairesse captures a moment of quiet reflection amidst the Trojan War. Achilles is shown centrally, bathed in light as he plays a lyre, surrounded by onlookers rendered with the dramatic chiaroscuro and sophisticated technique typical of the Dutch late-Baroque style.
