"The Trojan Prince: A Tale of Heroic Escape and Divine Intervention" In the ancient city of Troy, amidst the chaos and destruction of war, a noble prince named Aeneas emerges as a symbol of resilience and determination. Depicted in various works of art throughout history, his story unfolds with captivating detail. One such portrayal is found in the exquisite Lunette depicting Aeneas fleeing from burning Troy. With unwavering strength, he carries his father Anchises on his back while young Ascanius follows closely behind, carrying their mother. This powerful image captures the essence of familial love and sacrifice amidst utter devastation. Another artwork showcases Aeneas and Anchises escaping from Troy through pen & ink sketches infused with oil and white heightening. The intricate details bring to life their perilous journey as they navigate through treacherous landscapes, guided by divine intervention. Marble sculptures also immortalize this legendary duo - Aeneas and Anchises - in all their glory. Pierre Lepautre's masterpiece reveals them followed by Ascagne, embodying generations bound together by destiny. The meeting between Aeneas and Anne, sister to Dido, is captured in Ms 493 fol. 123v - a moment that foreshadows future alliances forged amid tragedy. It hints at the complexities faced by our hero as he navigates not only physical obstacles but also matters of the heart. A mirror depicts Aphrodite herself persuading Helen to follow Paris to Troy - an act that sets into motion events leading to its eventual downfall. In contrast, "The Reconciliation of Paris and Helen" portrays a momentary respite from turmoil; watercolors delicately convey emotions intertwined with hope for redemption. Photographs reveal remnants from Veies' Campetti Sanctuary where stone carvings depict Aeneas embracing Anchises once more – an eternal bond transcending time itself. Lastly, "Venus Presenting Helen to Paris" captures the pivotal moment that sparks the Trojan War.
