"Thetis Giving Achilles His Arms" is a renowned fresco by the Italian artist Giulio Romano, also known as Giulio Pippi or by his nickname, Orbetto. Giulio Romano was a prominent painter and architect of the High Renaissance period and a notable pupil of Raphael. This particular work of art is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Sala di Troia in the Palazzo del Te in Mantua, Italy, which was the pleasure palace of Federico II Gonzaga, the Duke of Mantua.

The fresco depicts the poignant moment from Greek mythology when Thetis, the sea nymph and mother of Achilles, presents her son with a new set of arms forged by the god Hephaestus. This event occurs in the context of the Trojan War, as recounted in Homer's epic, the Iliad. The narrative significance of this scene lies in its anticipation of Achilles' return to battle following the death of his close friend Patroclus, and it foreshadows his eventual fate.

Giulio Romano's mastery is evident in the dynamic composition and the emotional intensity of the figures. The fresco is characterized by its vigorous lines, dramatic use of perspective, and the muscular energy of the characters, all hallmarks of Romano's style, which contributed to the transition from the High Renaissance to the Mannerist period.

Commissioned in the 1530s, "Thetis Giving Achilles His Arms" is a testament to the cultural and artistic patronage of the Gonzaga family and reflects the humanist interests of the Italian Renaissance in classical antiquity. The fresco is celebrated for its artistic innovation and is an important example of Giulio Romano's contribution to the development of Italian Renaissance art.
