EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from the epic tale of Aeneas and the body of Lausus. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this colour lithograph showcases their skillful interpretation of this classical scene. In this image, we witness the aftermath of a fierce battle as Aeneas, the legendary hero from Roman mythology, stands solemnly over the lifeless body of Lausus. The composition exudes a sense of sorrow and loss, with Aeneas portrayed as both mournful and contemplative. The artwork is based on "Stories from Virgil" by Alfred J Church, published in 1882. This illustration brings to life one of the most memorable episodes from Publius Vergilius Maro's epic poem, "The Aeneid". It beautifully encapsulates themes such as loyalty, sacrifice, and honor that are central to ancient Roman culture. Through its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this print transports viewers back to a time when myths and legends held great significance. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with classical literature and its ability to inspire generations across centuries. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this piece continues to captivate audiences with its timeless portrayal of an iconic moment in ancient history.
