EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from ancient mythology. Titled "Turnus over the bodies of Almo and Galaesus" this 19th-century colour lithograph depicts a pivotal moment in the epic story of Aeneas, as told by the Roman poet Virgil. In this illustration for Alfred J Church's book "Stories from Virgil" we witness Turnus, a central character in Virgil's Aeneid, standing triumphantly over the lifeless bodies of Almo and Galaesus. The intense emotions conveyed through their postures and expressions create an atmosphere charged with tension and sorrow. The artist skillfully brings to life the classical world through meticulous attention to detail, capturing every nuance of these legendary figures. The rich colors used in this lithograph further enhance its visual impact, adding depth and vibrancy to each element within the composition. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era steeped in myth and heroism. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of ancient stories that continue to captivate our imaginations today. This print is not only a testament to artistic talent but also an homage to Publius Vergilius Maro (Virgil), whose poetic genius has immortalized these characters for centuries. Through this image, we can appreciate both the beauty of fine art and the timeless allure of classical literature.
