EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Illustration for John Dryden's translation of Virgil's Aeneid" takes us on a visual journey through the epic tale. Created by an anonymous European School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of John Dryden's renowned English translation. The scene depicted in this artwork remains unidentified within any specific edition of Dryden's work. However, it beautifully encapsulates the spirit and grandeur of Virgil's Aeneid. The intricate details and masterful technique employed by the artist transport viewers to ancient times, immersing them in a world filled with heroes and gods. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are reminded of the power that poetry possesses to transcend time and language barriers. Through verse, Dryden skillfully brings to life Virgil's timeless characters such as Aeneas - a Trojan hero destined to found Rome - amidst his perilous adventures. This print serves as a testament to both literary excellence and artistic prowess. It invites us to delve into the depths of English literature while appreciating the beauty that lies within its visual representation. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us all to marvel at its splendor. In our fast-paced modern world, let us take a moment to pause and reflect on these works that have stood the test of time – reminding us that art is not only meant for commercial use but also for enriching our souls with stories told through brushstrokes
