EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from the epic tale of Aeneas and the shade of Creusa. Illustrated by Bartolomeo Pinelli in 1879, this scene is taken from "Stories From Virgil" written by Reverend Alfred J. Church, M. A. In this haunting image, we witness Aeneas, son of Aphrodite and hero of Virgil's "Aeneid" encountering the ghostly presence of his first wife, Creusa. Daughter of Priam and Hecuba, Creusa tragically perishes during the fall of Troy. Here, her ethereal figure appears before Aeneas to deliver an important message: to protect their child Ascanius. The artist skillfully brings forth the emotions that envelop this encounter between husband and wife beyond life's boundaries. The delicate brushstrokes convey both sorrow and longing as Aeneas gazes upon his beloved Creusa's spectral form. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition while enhancing its otherworldly atmosphere. Published by Seeley, Jackson & Halliday in London over a century ago, this timeless artwork continues to captivate viewers with its evocative storytelling power. It serves as a reminder that even in death, love endures and familial duty remains paramount. Whitemay's masterful reproduction allows us to appreciate every intricate detail within this historical piece while immersing ourselves in one chapter of Virgil's legendary narrative - a testament to human resilience amidst
