EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by Giulio Bonasone in 1545, depicts a pivotal moment from Greek mythology - the Trojans pulling the infamous wooden horse into their city of Troy. With intricate detail and masterful engraving, Bonasone brings to life this iconic scene from Homer's epic poem, The Iliad. The Trojan War has raged on for years, with both sides locked in a stalemate. In a desperate attempt to deceive the Trojans, the Greeks construct a colossal wooden horse as an offering of peace. Unbeknownst to the Trojans, it conceals Greek soldiers within its hollow belly. In this image, we witness the Trojan citizens eagerly dragging the massive horse through their city gates. Their faces reflect hope and anticipation; little do they know that their actions will seal their fate. This artwork captures not only the physical labor involved but also highlights the psychological deception at play. Bonasone's skillful use of shading and composition adds depth and drama to this Renaissance-era masterpiece. As viewers gaze upon this historic print displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, they are transported back in time to witness one of literature's most enduring tales unfold before their eyes. A true gift for art enthusiasts and lovers of ancient history alike, Bonasone's work immortalizes this significant event from Greek mythology while paying homage to Italy's rich artistic heritage.
