This is a digitally restored antique engraving of Achilles; originally engraved by Antoine Achille Bourgeois de la Richardière, after a drawing by François-Gédéon Reverdin.
Achilles was the central character in Homer's epic poem, The Iliad, and is considered the greatest warrior and hero of ancient Greece. He was born to the mortal King Peleus of Phthia and the sea nymph Thetis, and was killed by Paris at the end of the Trojan War. The artwork was manually restored and enhanced for flawless, high definition print.
