In 1599, Agostino Carracci beautifully depicted the essence of love with his masterpiece "Omnia Vincit Amor. " Love truly conquers all. Gustave Doré's c1890 artwork, "Thence issuing we again beheld the stars, " transports us to a celestial realm where dreams intertwine with reality. As day departs in his piece "Now was the day departing, " we are reminded of life's fleeting nature and the importance of cherishing every moment. Jan Brueghel the younger takes us on an otherworldly journey in his painting "Aeneas and the Sibyl in the Underworld. " The mythical encounter between Aeneas and Sibyl unveils secrets hidden beneath our mortal existence. El Greco's haunting masterpiece from c. 1610/1614, "Laocoon, " captures both agony and beauty as it portrays a tragic Greek mythological scene. The artist's unique style adds depth to this timeless tale. Thornton's Pastorals of Virgil brings forth scenes from rural life inspired by Vergil’s poetry. From Sabrina’s Silvery Flood to Thenot Under a Fruit Tree, these illustrations transport us to idyllic landscapes where shepherds chase away wolves and lead their flocks together. Blasted trees and flattened crops depict hardships faced by farmers in Thorntons' Pastorals of Virgil series. Yet amidst adversity, joy returns as seen in Boy Returning Joyfully, with Plough and Oxen – reminding us that resilience can triumph over challenges. Unyok d Heifers Loitering Homeward showcases tranquility after a long day’s work - an ode to simplicity found within pastoral settings painted by Thornton based on Vergil’s poetry.
