Achilles sacrificing to Zeus from the Ambrosian Iliad.

This image appears in Ambrosian Iliad, and I believe that article clearly explains the importance of this image. It is one of the earliest examples of an illuminated manuscript, one of the earliest manuscripts of the Iliad, and the only pre-medieval illuminated manuscript of the Iliad (one out of 3 illuminated manuscripts from antiquity). This is a work of art from over 100 years ago, so it (and photographs of it) are in the public domain (at least in the US, according to the copyright tag).
