"La Déesse Thétis Plongeant le Jeune Achille dans un Vase" is a notable work by the Italian Baroque artist Pietro Testa. This artwork, which translates to "The Goddess Thetis Dipping the Young Achilles into a Vase," depicts the mythological scene where Thetis, the sea nymph and mother of Achilles, attempts to make her son invulnerable by submerging him in the River Styx. According to the legend, she holds him by his heel, which remains his only vulnerable spot, later known as Achilles' heel.

Pietro Testa (1612–1650), an Italian draftsman and printmaker, is known for his etchings and drawings that often explore classical and mythological themes. This particular piece is a testament to Testa's skill in capturing the drama and emotion of such timeless stories. The artwork is characterized by its dynamic composition, attention to detail, and the expressive gestures of the figures, which are hallmarks of Testa's style.
