EDITORS COMMENTS
The Death of Lausus" is an evocative and poignant work of art by the early 19th century Italian artist, Bartolomeo Pinelli. This pen and black and gray ink drawing over graphite on laid paper depicts a scene from the Aeneid, an epic poem by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. The specific scene portrayed in Pinelli's masterpiece is the tragic death of Lausus, a young and brave warrior from the Rutulian army, during the Battle of Lake Regillus. Lausus, a noble and valiant character, is shown lying on the battlefield, his lifeless body surrounded by the chaos and carnage of war. His father, Mezentius, stands beside him, his face contorted in grief and despair. The anguish and sorrow on their faces are palpable, as they both come to terms with the harsh realities of war and the inevitable loss of life. This powerful and moving depiction of the human condition during times of conflict is a testament to Pinelli's artistic skill and his deep understanding of the literary and historical significance of the Aeneid. The drawing is a precious addition to the vast collection of heritage art at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is on permanent exhibit for visitors to appreciate and contemplate. The early 19th century was a time of great cultural and artistic innovation, and Pinelli's "The Death of Lausus" is a prime example of the artistic concepts and themes that emerged during this period. The drawing is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Italy and the enduring power of literature and art to capture the human experience and convey the complexities of the human condition. Whether you are a scholar of ancient literature, an art enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and depth of human creativity, a visit to the National Gallery of Art to see "The Death of Lausus" by Bartolomeo Pinelli is an experience not to be missed.
