EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio beautifully captures the essence of heroism and familial love. Titled "Aeneas rescuing Anchises, a young boy carrying a lantern at left" this 16th-century engraving transports us to the ancient city depicted in Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid. The scene unfolds with Aeneas, the heroic protagonist of the Aeneid, valiantly saving his father Anchises from danger. The young boy carrying a lantern at left adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the composition. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the timeless themes found within Greek mythology and literature. Caraglio's masterful use of light and shadow creates a dramatic atmosphere that intensifies our emotional connection to these characters. The intricate details in every line showcase his skill as an Italian Renaissance artist. Displayed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Caraglio's contribution to art history. It also invites us to reflect on concepts such as fatherhood, heroism, and escape – themes that continue to resonate across time and cultures. Through this remarkable piece by Caraglio, we are transported back in time while simultaneously contemplating universal human experiences. Whether one is familiar with ancient myths or not, there is something undeniably powerful about witnessing such devotion between father and son through artistry that has stood the test of centuries.
