EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Tiepolo's masterpiece, "The Procession of the Trojan Horse into Troy" painted around 1760. Housed in the esteemed National Gallery in London, this artwork epitomizes the essence of Italian Baroque painting. Drawing inspiration from Greek mythology and Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey, Tiepolo skillfully depicts a pivotal moment in history - the cunningly devised Trojan Horse being wheeled into Troy by its unsuspecting citizens. This legendary tale comes to life on canvas as heroes and gods unite amidst a backdrop of ancient ruins. With meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors, Tiepolo captures both the grandeur and trepidation surrounding this iconic event. The figures are rendered with remarkable precision, each conveying their emotions through subtle gestures and expressions. "The Procession of the Trojan Horse into Troy" not only serves as an exquisite example of fine art but also symbolizes timeless themes such as deceit, heroism, and destiny. It stands as a testament to Tiepolo's mastery within the Venetian school. As you gaze upon this print, immerse yourself in ancient history and let your imagination wander through mythological realms. Let it remind you that even legends can teach us valuable lessons about human nature – for indeed, "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes" (Beware Greeks bearing gifts).
