EDITORS COMMENTS
Queen Dido of Carthage, renowned for her beauty and wisdom, is depicted in this handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World. The image captures a pivotal moment in the legendary tale of Dido and the poet Aeneas. Dido, wearing a magnificent tiara adorned with pearls and precious stones, is flanked by her beloved brother and advisor, Anna, and the weary traveler, Aeneas. The trio stands on a raised platform, surrounded by attentive servants who bring food and drink to a platter on a tripod. The banquet, a symbol of Carthaginian hospitality and Dido's deep affection for Aeneas, is a turning point in the epic poem 'Aeneid' by Virgil. The scene is filled with an air of intimacy and warmth, as Dido welcomes Aeneas into her kingdom and offers him refuge from his arduous journey. The handcoloured engraving beautifully captures the richness and opulence of Carthaginian culture, with intricate details of the textiles, jewellery, and architectural elements. The use of copperplate engraving technique adds depth and texture to the image, making it a captivating visual representation of this legendary story.
