EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Dido obtaining the site of Carthage by a ruse" takes us back to ancient times and tells a fascinating story. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this print showcases an illustration from Illustrierte Weltgeschichte fur das Volk (Ernst Wiest, Leipzig, 1893). The scene depicted here is filled with intrigue and cunning. In this artwork, we witness Dido, the legendary founder and queen of Carthage, employing her intelligence and resourcefulness to secure the location for her city. With determination shining in her eyes, she cleverly outwits those who would stand in her way. The artist skillfully captures Dido's strength and femininity as she navigates through a world dominated by men. The black-and-white aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this piece while emphasizing its historical significance. It transports us to North Africa during ancient times when Carthage was at its zenith. The intricate details within the engraving bring life to every element - from majestic oxen grazing peacefully nearby to the vibrant landscapes that surround them. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage of Africa and its contributions to human civilization. This artwork not only celebrates Dido's remarkable achievements but also pays homage to Arab civilization and polytheistic religions prevalent during that era. With Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder bringing it into our view once more today, let us appreciate both the artistic mastery behind this engraving and its ability to transport us back in time where legends were born.
