EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Aeneas and the shade of Dido" takes us back to ancient times, immersing us in the world of mythology and epic storytelling. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this colour lithograph beautifully captures a moment from Virgil's Aeneid. In this scene, we witness Aeneas encountering the ghostly figure of Dido, his former lover and Queen of Carthage. The image evokes a sense of melancholy as Aeneas stands before her shade, his face reflecting both sorrow and regret. The composition skillfully portrays the emotional weight carried by these legendary characters. The print is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for Alfred J Church's book "Stories from Virgil". This work serves as a testament to the enduring power of classical literature and its ability to inspire visual interpretations across different artistic mediums. With its rich colors and attention to detail, this lithograph transports viewers into a world filled with ancient stories, Latin poetry, and timeless myths. It reminds us that even centuries later, these tales continue to captivate our imagination while highlighting the profound impact that Roman poet Publius Vergilius Maro (Virgil) had on shaping Western literature. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection so that we can appreciate its beauty today.
