EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from "Stories from Virgil" by the Reverend Alfred J. Church, M. A. , with illustrations by Bartolomeo Pinelli. Published in 1879, this artwork depicts the menacing Harpies wreaking havoc on yet another banquet hosted by Aeneas and the Trojans. In Greek and Roman mythology, Harpies are known as half-human, half-bird creatures with a female face and the temperament of a violent storm. The artist skillfully portrays these mythical beings as they descend upon the feast, their wings outstretched and eyes filled with malice. The chaos unfolds before our eyes as food is scattered, tables overturned, and guests flee in terror. The Harpies' presence brings forth an eerie atmosphere that perfectly captures their destructive nature. Through this image, we witness Aeneas and his comrades facing yet another obstacle on their journey to establish a new homeland after fleeing Troy's destruction. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by heroes throughout history - even in moments of celebration or respite. Whitemay's choice to reproduce this particular illustration highlights both Church's storytelling prowess and Pinelli's artistic talent. This print not only showcases an iconic moment from ancient mythology but also invites viewers to delve into Virgil's epic poem "The Aeneid" while appreciating fine artistry at its best.
