About This Design

Customise ProductThetis takes Achilles from the Ca Postcard

Customise ProductThetis takes Achilles from the Ca Postcard

The god-like hero Achilles was entrusted as a small boy by his father Peleus to the care and education of the centaur Chiron on Mount Pelion. When he had grown to manhood his goddess mother Thetis came to take him so that he could begin his heroic adventures. This is a depiction of that mythological scene. The original was painted by Pompeo Batoni and measures 89.2 by 117.1 inches. It is in the State Hermitge Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia. Batoni was sixty-two when he created this masterpiece in 1770. He had been born in Lucca and apprenticed in Rome from the age of nineteen. He gained a patron in Gabrielli di Gubbio five years later and his fame spread. He became a member of the Accademia di San Luca in 1741 and became an Austrian noble for his double painting of Joseph II and Leopold II. He died in Rome in 1787.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.

These cards are great quality, I use them as enclosure cards for my business! Hey are a little pricey but you definitely get the quality and professionalism! Repurchased a few times now and will continue to do so :). Beautiful, nice sheen on them, sharp and clear
