EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a comical scene from ancient Roman mythology. Titled "Aeneas and Anchises" this 1852 artwork by John Leech is part of the renowned book, The Comic History of Rome, written by Gilbert A. A. Beckett. In this humorous portrayal, we see Italy as the backdrop while Aeneas carries his father Anchises on his back. Both men are depicted in a caricatured style, adding to the comic effect of the image. This satirical engraving showcases Leech's talent for combining history with humor. The concept behind this print is rooted in Greek and Roman mythology, specifically focusing on Aeneas' journey from Troy to found Rome. The artist cleverly uses exaggeration and wit to bring these legendary characters to life. As we observe this amusing portrait, it becomes evident that Leech was skilled at capturing not only historical accuracy but also injecting a sense of playfulness into his work. Through monochrome tones and intricate details, he transports us back in time while simultaneously entertaining us with his artistic interpretation. This print serves as a delightful reminder that even ancient tales can be reimagined through satire and comedy. It stands as a testament to both Leech's talent as an illustrator and Beckett's ability to weave together history and humor within their collaborative masterpiece – The Comic History of Rome.
