EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless masterpiece "Aeneas and Anchises" from the Campetti Sanctuary in Veies. Created by an Etruscan artist during the 5th century BC, this stone sculpture depicts a legendary scene from ancient mythology. In this powerful image, we witness Aeneas, the Trojan prince and hero of Virgil's epic poem "The Aeneid" carrying his elderly father Anchises on his back. The weight of responsibility is evident in Aeneas' determined expression as he helps his father flee war-torn Troy. The composition beautifully captures the bond between father and son, symbolizing filial duty and sacrifice. It resonates with themes found in Homer's "Iliad" as well, emphasizing the heroic nature of their journey. Displayed at Museo Nazionale Etrusco within Villa Giulia in Rome, Italy, this artwork holds historical significance as a testament to Etruscan culture. Its preservation allows us to delve into protohistoric legends that have shaped our understanding of heroism throughout time. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail of this remarkable sculpture through their high-quality photography. This particular print not only serves as a visual delight but also invites contemplation on universal human values such as family bonds, resilience amidst adversity, and the pursuit of freedom.
