EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Giovanni Battista Fontana, titled "The Servants of Aeneas Battling the Servants of the Latin King," dates back to the 16th century, specifically between 1560 and 1579. The Italian artist masterfully depicts a mythological scene drawn from the rich tapestry of Greek mythology. The print showcases an intense and dynamic battle between two groups of servants, one loyal to Aeneas, the legendary Trojan hero, and the other to the Latin King. The servants of Aeneas, dressed in Greek attire, are shown with determined expressions and clashing swords, while their opponents, dressed in the robes of Roman nobility, are equally resolute in their defense of their monarch. The intricate details of the etching reveal the skill and artistry of Fontana, who expertly captures the raw emotion and energy of the battle. The contrast between the two groups, one representing the heritage of Greece and the other of Rome, adds depth and complexity to the scene. This historic artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Italy during the Renaissance period. The black and white etching, with its timeless beauty and intriguing narrative, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of mythology.
