"Achilles Handing over to Chiron" is an oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Donato Creti, created in the early 18th century. This artwork depicts the mythological scene where the Greek hero Achilles is entrusted by his father Peleus to the wise centaur Chiron for nurturing and education. The painting is a fine example of Creti's work, showcasing his ability to blend classical themes with the Baroque style's dramatic expression and use of light.

Donato Creti, born in Cremona in 1671 and active mainly in Bologna, was known for his religious and mythological scenes, as well as his contributions to the decoration of the Palazzo Pubblico in Bologna. His style is characterized by clear, luminous colors, and a delicate treatment of figures, which is evident in "Achilles Handing over to Chiron." The painting is a testament to Creti's mastery of composition and his skill in rendering human emotion and the subtleties of mythological storytelling.

The work is significant for its portrayal of the moment of transition in Achilles' life, symbolizing the passing of wisdom and the shaping of a hero's destiny. Chiron, often depicted as the educator of many Greek heroes, is shown receiving the young Achilles, an event that is pivotal in the hero's journey towards his ultimate fate in the Trojan War.

"Achilles Handing over to Chiron" is part of Donato Creti's broader oeuvre, which contributed to the development of the Baroque and Rococo movements in Northern Italy. The painting is appreciated not only for its historical and mythological relevance but also for its artistic qualities, which reflect the cultural and aesthetic values of the period in which it was created.
