EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of profound sadness and despair in the legendary tale of Dido, Queen of Carthage. The scene depicts Dido, with tears streaming down her face, as she watches Aeneas and his crew sail away from the shores of Carthage. According to Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid, Aeneas was bound by a divine prophecy to leave Carthage and fulfill his destiny in founding Rome. Dido and Aeneas had fallen deeply in love, and their passion had consumed them both. Dido had even gone so far as to build a temple to Venus, the goddess of love, in honor of their union. But when the gods intervened and Aeneas received a message from the underworld, he was compelled to leave Carthage and continue his journey to Italy. The heartbroken queen, unable to bear the thought of living without her beloved, took her own life in a fiery pyre on the shore. The tragic tale of Dido and Aeneas has been a source of inspiration for artists, poets, and writers throughout history, and this image by Mary Evans Picture Library captures the essence of the mythic love story and the profound emotion of Dido's despair. The classical setting, with its intricate details and rich colors, transports us back to the ancient world and immerses us in the story of one of the most enduring love stories in history. This print is a beautiful addition to any collection of classical art or mythology, and serves as a poignant reminder of the power of love and loss.
