EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Carthage: Aeneas and Achates, 1825" by David Cox takes us back to ancient times. In this stunning artwork, we are transported to the North African coast where the city of Carthage stands proudly amidst a picturesque landscape. The artist skillfully captures the essence of classical architecture, showcasing its grandeur against the backdrop of a serene shoreline. At the center of the composition, we see Aeneas and his loyal companion Achates as they seek refuge in Carthage following the fall of Troy. Their weary faces reflect both relief and uncertainty as they embark on a new chapter in their lives. Cox's masterful use of watercolor and bodycolour brings life to every detail, from the intricate textures of their clothing to the shimmering sea that stretches out before them. This evocative piece not only showcases Cox's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of ancient history and mythology. It transports us into an epic tale filled with adventure, resilience, and hope. As we gaze upon this print at Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, we can't help but feel drawn into Aeneas' journey – one that resonates with our own experiences of seeking solace in unfamiliar lands. Through this remarkable painting, Cox invites us to explore not only historical narratives but also themes such as displacement, survival, and human connection across time. It is truly a work that captivates both our imagination and emotions alike.
