EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Aeneas and the Shade of Creusa" artist Bartolomeo Pinelli brings to life a poignant moment from Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid. The scene depicts Aeneas, the Trojan hero, encountering the ghostly shade of his beloved wife, Creusa. With masterful brushstrokes and intricate details, Pinelli skillfully captures the emotional intensity of this encounter. Aeneas stands tall and resolute in his armor as he gazes upon the ethereal figure before him. Creusa's translucent form exudes an otherworldly beauty as she reaches out towards her husband with longing. The composition is bathed in a soft golden light that adds an air of mysticism to the scene. The delicate folds of their garments seem to ripple with movement, evoking a sense of both grace and sorrow. This print serves as a visual representation of one of the most touching moments in ancient literature - when Aeneas encounters his deceased wife during his perilous journey to found Rome. It speaks to themes such as love, loss, and destiny that resonate across time and cultures. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate Pinelli's artistic interpretation while also reminding us of Virgil's enduring influence on Western literature. This print is not only a beautiful piece but also a testament to the power art has in bringing stories from antiquity back into our lives today.
