EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Dido building Carthage" by renowned artist Giovan Battista Pittoni. The painting, found in the prestigious State Hermitage collection in St. Petersburg, transports viewers to a world of ancient mythology and baroque artistry. Pittoni's work beautifully captures the essence of Roman and Greek mythology, drawing inspiration from epic tales such as Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid. The scene depicts Dido, the Queen of Carthage (also known as Elissa), overseeing the construction of her magnificent city. With meticulous brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Pittoni brings this allegorical moment to life on canvas. The composition skillfully combines elements from various mythological narratives surrounding Troy and its aftermath. Aeneas, the legendary Trojan hero who plays a significant role in both Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid, can be seen interacting with Dido in this stunning portrayal. As we gaze upon this fine art image created by Pittoni within his Venetian school style, we are transported back to an era filled with grandeur and mythical wonder. This painting serves as a testament to Pittoni's mastery of oil on canvas technique while simultaneously paying homage to classical literature that has shaped our understanding of ancient civilizations.
