content: The centaur Chiron teaches the young Achilles to shoot with a bow and arrow, based on a painting in the royal collection that became part of the public museum of the Louvre after the French Revolution. Reproductive prints were intended to broaden access to these artworks, part of an organized effort to "engrave the museum" after the royal collections were nationalized.
