EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Aeneas and Dido" transports us to the realm of classical literature and art. Created by Baron Pierre-Narcisse Guerin in the early 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid. The scene depicts Aeneas, a Trojan hero and future founder of Rome, bidding farewell to Queen Dido of Carthage. As they stand amidst an opulent European gallery, their expressions reveal a complex mix of longing and sorrow. The artist skillfully conveys their emotional turmoil through intricate details and delicate brushstrokes. Guerin's engraving is part of the esteemed collection known as Royal Gems from the Galleries of Europe. This compilation showcases masterpieces edited by C Hall and published by Virtue during an era when classical themes were highly popular among European nobility. Through this artwork, we are reminded not only of the enduring power of ancient stories but also how they continue to inspire generations across time. It serves as a testament to the timeless allure that classical art holds for both public galleries and private collectors alike. As we gaze upon this masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness Aeneas' noble journey intertwined with Queen Dido's tragic fate—a tale that has captivated audiences for centuries.
