EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of Aeneas and Anchises escaping from the burning city of Troy. Created by Barocci or Baroccio, Federico Fiori in c. 1587, this artwork showcases the artist's mastery in pen and ink and oil with white heightening techniques. The image depicts a moment of intense danger as flames engulf the ancient city behind them. Aeneas, a Trojan prince and hero of Greek mythology, is seen carrying his elderly father Anchises on his back while they flee for their lives. The weight of responsibility is evident on Aeneas' face as he navigates through chaos to ensure his father's safety. The composition beautifully portrays the bond between father and son amidst turmoil. Anchises, portrayed as an old man peacefully sleeping during their escape, symbolizes vulnerability and reliance on his son's strength. This poignant portrayal highlights themes of sacrifice, duty, and familial love. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of Italian Renaissance artistry, this piece evokes emotions ranging from fear to hope. It serves as a visual testament to the fall of Troy during the legendary Trojan War narrated by Homer in his epic poems. Through its skillful execution and rich symbolism, this artwork invites viewers to reflect upon timeless themes such as aging, resilience in adversity, and the enduring power of family bonds.
