EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from Nicolo dell Abate's fresco, "The transportation of the horse under the walls of Troy" inspired by Aeneid, Canto II. The artwork, now housed in Modena's Galleria e Museo Estense, depicts an intense moment during the Trojan War. In this detail of the fresco, we witness the cunning Greek warriors executing their audacious plan to infiltrate Troy. The colossal wooden horse stands tall as it is transported beneath the city's towering walls. This iconic image symbolizes both deception and deceit as it represents one of history's most famous military stratagems. The artist masterfully portrays classical architecture against a backdrop of mythological turmoil and chaos. The horses featured in this painting add an element of liveliness to the composition—ranging from majestic racehorses to sturdy shire horses and spirited ponies. As we delve into this historical narrative through art, we are reminded of Homer's epic poem, "Aeneid" which chronicles Aeneas' journey and his role in shaping Rome's destiny. This particular scene showcases a pivotal moment that leads to a climactic battle between two great civilizations. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this XVI-century masterpiece by Ghigo Roli with incredible attention to detail. Through this photo print, viewers can immerse themselves in ancient mythology while appreciating the skillful brushstrokes that bring these legendary events to life once more.
