EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Ms 493 fol. 99v The departure of Aeneas and Didos death" transports us back to the enchanting world of medieval art. This exquisite illuminated manuscript, created by the French School in the 15th century, depicts a poignant scene from Virgil's epic poem, The Aeneid. In this evocative image, we witness the tragic culmination of unrequited love as Queen Dido bids farewell to her beloved Aeneas. As he sets sail on his journey to fulfill his destiny as Prince of Troy, Dido is left abandoned within the walls of Carthage. The artist skillfully captures both the emotional turmoil and grandeur surrounding this pivotal moment. The intricate details bring life to every element: from the majestic ship that awaits Aeneas' departure to the sorrowful expression on Dido's face as she contemplates her impending fate. Dramatically juxtaposed against a backdrop of an opulent cityscape, this composition not only showcases artistic mastery but also serves as a visual representation of human emotions and desires that transcend time. This remarkable piece invites us into a world where myth intertwines with history and where love can lead both to great triumphs and devastating tragedies. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling through art and reminds us why masterpieces like these continue to captivate audiences centuries later.
