EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph titled "Dido and the False Ascanius" takes us back to the 19th century, where English School artists skillfully brought ancient stories to life. The print, now part of a private collection, is a visual representation of an episode from Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid. In this scene, we witness Dido, the legendary Queen of Carthage, deceived by a cunning imposter posing as her beloved son Ascanius. The artist masterfully captures the tension and emotional turmoil in Dido's face as she embraces the false child. This moment symbolizes both vulnerability and betrayal within classical mythology. The image itself was created as an illustration for Alfred J Church's book "Stories from Virgil" published in 1882. It serves as a testament to how timeless these ancient tales remain across different periods and cultures. Virgil's Aeneid is considered one of the greatest works of Latin literature and has had a profound influence on Western storytelling traditions. Through his poetic genius, Publius Vergilius Maro (commonly known as Virgil) crafted an epic that explores themes such as love, duty, destiny, and heroism. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print by Bridgeman Images courtesy of Fine Art Finder, we are reminded once again why these classical stories continue to captivate our imaginations even centuries after their creation.
