EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Evander and Aeneas at Palentium" transports us back to ancient times, immersing us in a scene from Virgil's epic poem. Created by the talented artist Francis Cleyn, this print captures a pivotal moment in the story of Evander and Aeneas. In this beautifully detailed image, we see Evander, accompanied by his loyal dogs, engaging in deep conversation with Aeneas. The setting is Palentium, a significant location within the narrative. The intricate lines and shading bring life to each character's expression and gesture. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the power of storytelling through visual art. Cleyn masterfully translates Virgil's words into an evocative image that sparks our imagination and curiosity about these legendary figures. The addition of Wencelaus Hollar's print adds another layer to its historical significance. This piece becomes not only an artistic creation but also a testament to the enduring impact of classical literature on subsequent generations. Displayed within private collections for years before being made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this engraving serves as a window into both ancient mythology and the rich history of artistic interpretation. It invites us to explore further connections between literature and art while appreciating their timeless beauty.
