EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century drawing by British artist John Everett Millais, we are transported to a poignant scene from Virgil's epic poem "Aeneid". The artwork titled "Aeneas Shown the Body of Pallas" depicts a deeply emotional moment as Aeneas, the Trojan hero, is shown the lifeless body of his dear friend and ally, Pallas. Rendered in pen and black ink on its original mount, this exquisite print beautifully captures the raw emotions that permeate through the narrative. Aeneas stands tall and solemn at the center of the composition while cradling Pallas' lifeless form in his arms. His face reflects both grief and determination as he contemplates revenge for his fallen comrade. Millais skillfully employs intricate details to enhance our connection with this tragic event. From delicate shading to meticulous line work, every stroke adds depth and intensity to each character's expression. The artist's attention to detail extends beyond human figures; even nature mourns alongside them. The somber landscape surrounding Aeneas mirrors their collective sorrow. This remarkable piece showcases Millais' mastery in capturing complex emotions within a single frame. It serves as a testament not only to his artistic prowess but also to Virgil's enduring influence on Western literature and culture. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print invites viewers into an ancient world filled with heroism, loss, and unwavering loyalty—a timeless reminder of humanity's capacity for love amidst tragedy.
