"Achilles Deciding to Resume Fighting Upon the Death of Patroclus" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch artist Dirck van Baburen, a prominent figure in the Utrecht Caravaggisti movement, which was deeply influenced by the Italian painter Caravaggio. This work depicts a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poem, the Iliad, where Achilles, the Greek hero, decides to return to battle after learning of the death of his close friend and possible lover, Patroclus.

Van Baburen's painting captures the emotional intensity of the scene through dramatic lighting and expressive figures, characteristics typical of the Caravaggisti's approach to art. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, serves to highlight the internal struggle of Achilles and the gravity of his decision. The artwork is a testament to the artist's mastery of Baroque aesthetics and his ability to convey complex narratives and psychological depth within his compositions.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical value, as it reflects the themes of honor, friendship, and heroism that were central to both the ancient Greek ethos and the Baroque period's emphasis on emotion and drama. "Achilles Deciding to Resume Fighting Upon the Death of Patroclus" remains an important work for scholars studying the reception of classical themes in early modern European art and for those interested in the development of Baroque painting in the Netherlands.
