This print showcases the famous painting "Dido's Sacrifice to Juno, 1630" which can be found in the esteemed collection of Nationalmuseum Stockholm. Created during the Baroque period in Holland, this masterpiece beautifully depicts a pivotal moment from Roman mythology. The scene portrays Dido, also known as Queen Elissa of Carthage, making a sacrificial offering to Juno, the Roman goddess and queen of all gods. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and emotion of this significant event through his use of allegory and literature. Drawing inspiration from Homer's epic poem, The Aeneid, by Virgil, this painting tells the story of Dido's tragic love affair with Aeneas. As one of the survivors from Troy after its fall during the Trojan War, Aeneas seeks refuge in Carthage where he meets and falls in love with Dido. However, fate intervenes as Aeneas is destined to fulfill his duty as a founder of Rome. Heartbroken by his departure, Dido ultimately takes her own life. This poignant moment is immortalized on canvas by Lastman using oil on wood technique. Through fine art images like this one, we are transported back in time to witness these timeless tales unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that even within mythology lies profound truths about human nature - love lost and sacrifices made for honor and destiny.
