EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Aeneas carrying Anchises, 1729" by Carle van Loo transports us to a moment of intense emotion and heroic sacrifice. The oil on canvas original, now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, depicts Aeneas, the legendary Trojan hero, carrying his elderly father Anchises on his back while leading his young son Ascanius and wife Creusa to safety. In this powerful image, we witness the strength and determination of Aeneas as he navigates through the chaos and destruction of Troy during the Trojan War. His armor glistens under the dim light as he carries his family amidst flames and danger. The drapery flowing around them adds a sense of movement to their desperate escape. This scene is not only a testament to filial love but also an embodiment of heroism. Aeneas's selflessness shines through as he risks everything for those dear to him. It echoes themes found in Virgil's epic poem "The Aeneid" where Aeneas becomes a symbol of resilience and hope. Through this remarkable artwork captured beautifully in photography, we are reminded of the enduring power of mythological tales that continue to inspire generations with their timeless messages about love, sacrifice, and triumph over adversity.
