EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating fresco titled "Naval Combat and Turnus soldiers attack the Trojan field, from Aeneid, Canto VII" by Nicolo dell Abate takes us back to ancient times, immersing us in the epic battle between two formidable forces. This 16th-century masterpiece, now housed in the Galleria e Museo Estense in Modena, Italy, showcases the artist's skill in capturing both the intensity and grandeur of war. In this particular scene from Virgil's Aeneid, we witness a dramatic confrontation unfolding on multiple fronts. The lunette portrays a fierce naval combat where ships clash amidst turbulent waters. The artist masterfully depicts every detail of these vessels engaged in battle - their sails billowing with wind as warriors fight valiantly for victory. Meanwhile, on land, Turnus soldiers relentlessly storm the Trojan field. With swords raised high and determination etched upon their faces, they launch an assault against their adversaries. This depiction captures not only the chaos of war but also highlights each soldier's individual bravery and commitment to their cause. Nicolo dell Abate's frescoes were originally part of the Camerino dell Eneide at Rocca dei Conti Boiardo in Scandiano before finding a new home at Galleria Estense. Through his artistry and attention to detail, he brings to life scenes from one of literature's most celebrated epics – showcasing both his talent as an artist and his deep understanding of classical mythology. This print allows viewers to appreciate Dell'Abate's work up close while marveling at its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, stories like those found within Virgil’s Aeneid continue to inspire awe and captivate our imagination.
