"Der Centaur Chiron Unterrichtet Den Knaben Achilles Im Spielder Leier" is an 18th-century engraving by the Italian artist Gaetano Zompini (1700–1778). The title translates to "The Centaur Chiron Instructs the Boy Achilles in Playing the Lyre" in English. This work of art depicts the mythological scene where Chiron, the wisest of the centaurs, is teaching the young Achilles, who would later become one of the greatest heroes of the Trojan War, how to play the lyre.

Zompini, known for his detailed engravings and etchings, was an artist who captured the life and times of the Venetian Republic with a particular focus on the daily activities of its inhabitants. However, in this piece, he turns to classical mythology for inspiration. The artwork is reflective of the Rococo style, which was prevalent during Zompini's lifetime, characterized by intricate detail, elegance, and a focus on themes of leisure and mythology.

The engraving is significant for its portrayal of the educational relationship between the centaur and the hero, a subject that has been a popular theme in art throughout history. It highlights the importance of mentorship and the transmission of knowledge and skills, which was a valued concept in the 18th century as it is today.

The piece is part of a larger body of work by Zompini that showcases his skill in engraving and his ability to convey complex narratives through his art. While "Der Centaur Chiron Unterrichtet Den Knaben Achilles Im Spielder Leier" may not be as well-known as some of Zompini's other works, it remains a fine example of his artistic legacy and the enduring appeal of classical mythology in the visual arts.
