EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the momentous encounter between Aeneas, accompanied by his loyal friend Achates, and the revered Sibyl of Cumae. Seeking a glimpse of his deceased father's face once more, Aeneas humbly approaches the wise oracle in this ancient scene depicted by Jacob Folkema. In the background, a solemn ritual unfolds as seven bulls and sheep are sacrificed on behalf of the Sibyl. These offerings serve to invoke her prophetic powers and enable her to commence her divinations. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as Aeneas prepares himself for what lies ahead. The composition beautifully portrays the arrival at Cumae, an important turning point in Virgil's epic poem "Aeneid". It symbolizes Aeneas' descent into the underworld, where he seeks guidance from his father's spirit. This pivotal journey shapes not only Aeneas' destiny but also that of Rome itself. Folkema skillfully captures both the grandeur and intimacy of this significant moment through intricate etching techniques on paper. The delicate details bring life to each character's expression and gesture, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this mythical world. As part of Liszt Collection's remarkable assortment of prints celebrating historical artistry, this piece offers a glimpse into classical mythology while showcasing Folkema's mastery as an artist. Whether displayed for personal enjoyment or educational purposes, it serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with tales from antiquity.
