The Fall of Troy and Escape of Aeneas
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print created by Giorgio Ghisi in the mid-1540s. This engraving, based on Giovanni Battista Scultori's work, transports us back to the 13th century BC, immersing us in the epic tale of Greek mythology. The image depicts the ancient city of Troy under siege during the Trojan Wars. The towering city walls stand as a testament to its strength and resilience. Amidst the chaos and violence, we witness Aeneas, a heroic figure from Virgil's "Aeneid" leading his group of men through an intense battle scene. Ghisi masterfully captures the intensity and desperation of this pivotal moment. Horses leap over fallen soldiers as they make their daring escape from the doomed city. The night sky adds an air of mystery and danger to this dramatic composition. This print not only showcases Ghisi's exceptional skill as an Italian engraver but also serves as a visual representation of our fascination with history and mythology. It invites us to reflect on themes such as war, heroism, destiny, and human resilience. Displayed proudly in museums around the world like The Met, this artwork stands as a testament to our shared cultural heritage. It reminds us that even centuries later, these ancient stories continue to captivate our imagination and shape our understanding of human nature.
