EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stunning print of "Aeneas and Anchises followed by Ascagne" by Pierre Lepautre. The image showcases the grandeur of this masterpiece, which is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The sculpture depicts Aeneas, the Trojan prince, carrying his elderly father Anchises on his back while leading his young son Ascagne. It symbolizes filial love and heroism as they flee from the ruins of Troy during the war. The intricate details of their armor and helmets showcase their status as warriors. The composition beautifully portrays a moment frozen in time, with Aeneas' determined expression reflecting his commitment to saving his family amidst chaos. The statues are placed on an elegant pedestal against a backdrop of zinc roofs, adding to the historical ambiance. Created in 1716 by Francois Girardon and Jacques Bousseau using Carrara marble, this sculpture is inspired by Virgil's epic poem "Aeneid" and Homer's "Iliad". Its placement within Jardin des Tuileries adds to its allure as it harmoniously blends art with nature. This photograph taken by Giraudon Studio in 1921 perfectly encapsulates the timeless beauty captured within Lepautre's work. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of art throughout centuries.
