Achilles' Cry

This painting embodies the cost of unchecked rage. Achilles stands over Hector, not just in victory, but in a moment where glory gives way to something darker—revenge, pride, and the loss of mercy. The spear, the blood, the scream—these are symbols of a man consumed by his own legend. It’s less a scene of triumph, and more a reflection on what power turns us into when grief goes unhealed.

Even heroes, when driven by pain, can become the very thing they once fought against.
