EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Joseph Mallord William Turner's masterpiece, "Dido building Carthage" displayed at the National Gallery in London, UK. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment in history known as "The Rise of the Carthaginian Empire". In this 19th-century painting, we witness the remarkable reconstruction of Carthage under the guidance of Dido, also known as Queen Elissa. The image captures the essence of female strength and leadership as Dido oversees the construction project with determination and grace. Turner's brushstrokes beautifully depict the ruins of Carthage being transformed into a magnificent empire once again. Through his masterful use of colors and light, he brings life to this historical scene set amidst an outdoor backdrop. "Dido building Carthage" is inspired by Virgil's epic poem "Aeneid" and draws from Greek mythology. It serves as a testament to Turner's artistic brilliance and his ability to capture both historical narratives and mythological themes within his works. As we gaze upon this fine art piece captured by Derek Bayes' lens, we are transported back in time to witness not only a physical rebuilding but also an emotional resurrection. This photograph reminds us of the power that art holds in preserving stories from our past while inspiring future generations with its timeless beauty.
