EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Dido building Carthage (The Rise of the Carthaginian Empire)" painted by Joseph Mallord William Turner in 1815. Held in the esteemed collection of the National Gallery, London, this painting is a true gem of British Romanticism. Turner's work depicts a pivotal moment from Roman mythology and literature. Inspired by Virgil's epic poem, The Aeneid, it portrays Dido, the legendary Queen of Carthage, overseeing the construction of her magnificent city. The artist skillfully captures both the grandeur and tranquility of this scene through his masterful use of oil on canvas. Influenced by Greek mythology and Homer's Iliad, Turner weaves together various elements from ancient tales to create an allegorical representation rich with symbolism. The presence of Aeneas and Anchises alludes to their connection with Troy and foreshadows Rome's future greatness as descendants of these heroic figures. Through his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant landscape depiction, Turner transports viewers into a realm where mythological stories come alive. This painting serves as a testament to his exceptional talent for capturing complex narratives within breathtaking visual compositions. As one gazes upon this print, they are transported back in time to witness Dido's determination and ambition unfold before their eyes. It is truly an exquisite piece that celebrates not only English painting but also the enduring power of classical mythology in art.
