EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 17th-century tapestry print, we are transported to the mythical world of Dido and Aeneas as they discuss the fortifications of Carthage. Created by Flemish artist Giovanni Francesco Romanelli, this exquisite piece showcases his mastery in capturing both historical and mythological scenes. The scene unfolds with Dido, the powerful Queen of Carthage, revealing her grand plans for fortifying her city to Aeneas, a Trojan hero who seeks refuge after the fall of Troy. With intricate details woven into silk and wool through tapestry weave technique, every element comes alive - from the delicate expressions on their faces to the architectural intricacies depicted in the background. As we gaze upon this artwork by Michael Wauters at The Cleveland Museum of Art, we can almost feel ourselves being drawn into their conversation. Dido's gestures exude confidence and determination as she presents her vision for a fortified Carthage to Aeneas. Meanwhile, Aeneas listens intently, captivated by both her intellect and beauty. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us an insight into ancient history and mythology. It reminds us that even centuries ago, leaders like Dido were capable of envisioning ambitious projects that would shape their cities' futures. Through Heritage Art/Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we have been granted access to this remarkable piece that continues to inspire awe and admiration today.
