Bénigne Gagneraux’s The Education of Achilles (1785) is a neoclassical masterpiece depicting the centaur Chiron instructing the young Achilles in the art of warfare. The dramatic composition showcases Chiron galloping forward, wielding a club, while Achilles, draped in a striking red cloak, brandishes a spear. The dynamic movement and interplay of light and shadow emphasize the intensity of the scene, as they confront a ferocious tiger in a wild, mountainous landscape. Gagneraux’s meticulous attention to anatomy, rich color palette, and classical influences evoke the ideals of heroism and mentorship, embodying the essence of Achilles’ legendary upbringing.
