The Triumph of Achilles

at the Achilleion in Crete
a probably often photographed painting by Franz von Matsch. Achilles is seen dragging Hector's lifeless body in front of the Gates of Troy.... part of a panoramic fresco on the upper level of the main hall and photographed at 1/20 of a second .....

    A superb fresco full of drama and grandeur... Achilles very hauty and full of rage and vengeance for the death of his beloved Patroclos by Hector is dragging triumphally the dead body. Little later he will fall himself dead exposing his tendon to Paris's poisoned arrow...Nice and clear photo, Adele.
    best regards alexander

    Unglaublich. Die Perfektion der Details ist faszinierend. Da muß der Künstler eine unendliche Geduld und Akribie besessen haben. Ein herrliches Gemälde.

    On s'y croirait! Superbe scène antique, dont Hollywood s'est probablement inspirée pour tourner Ben Hur!... Si on organise à nouveau de telles courses - si possible sans le pauvre type traîné derrière le char... - il nous faudra régler notre appareil sur une vitesse un petit peu supérieure au 20ème de seconde...
