EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the renowned epic poem, "The Aeneid" by Virgil. Titled "Ms 493 fol. 87 The departure of Aeneas" it transports us back to ancient times, immersing us in the mythical journey of this legendary hero. In this beautifully illuminated manuscript, we witness the poignant moment when Aeneas bids farewell to his beloved father Anchises and embarks on a perilous voyage. The image captures the bustling harbor as Aeneas boards a majestic ship, ready to set sail towards his destiny. As our eyes wander through the composition, we are drawn to the towering ruins of a once-great city in the background—a haunting reminder of Troy's tragic fall. Amidst these remnants stands an imposing gate symbolizing both past glory and future possibilities. Aeneas himself is depicted wearing a noble tunic and donning an iconic hat that signifies his heroic status. His face reflects determination mixed with sorrow as he takes leave from his father—an emotional parting that resonates with readers even today. Through this masterful artwork, we are transported into Virgil's world—where history intertwines with myth and where heroes embark on extraordinary quests. This print serves as a visual testament to the enduring power of literature and reminds us why "The Aeneid" continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation.
