EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intense scene from Virgil's Aeneid, depicting Camilla, a fierce Amazon-like warrior, engaged in battle with Aunus or possibly his son. Created by Francis Cleyn in 1653, this engraving is a testament to the artist's mastery of capturing the essence of ancient Greek mythology. Camilla stands as a symbol of strength and determination as she fearlessly wields her sword against her opponent. The landscape surrounding them adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the gravity of their clash. With every stroke captured in monochrome beauty, Francis Cleyn brings this epic moment to life. The dedication on this artwork reads: "To the Right Honorable William Berkley Baron Berkley of Stratton &c" highlighting its connection to an esteemed figure of that time. This historical context further enhances our appreciation for Cleyn's work. Wenceslaus Hollar's contribution as a print collector ensures that this masterpiece endures through time and reaches us today. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where warfare was not limited by gender stereotypes. It serves as a reminder that women have always played significant roles in history and continue to do so today. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it encapsulates bravery, power, and resilience embodied by Camilla - an inspiration for all who encounter it.
