EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Aeneas saves his father from burning Troy" we are transported back to the ancient city of Troy during its devastating downfall. Jacob Folkema, a renowned artist of the 18th century, skillfully captures the dramatic moment when Aeneas, guided by his sense of duty and love for his family, heroically rescues his father Anchises from the raging inferno. The scene unfolds with Aeneas leading his young son Ascanius through the chaotic streets as flames engulf their beloved city. With determination etched on his face, he searches desperately for his wife Creusa who has become separated from them in the chaos. The symbolism is poignant as it represents not only physical destruction but also emotional loss and displacement. Folkema's work beautifully depicts Aeneas carrying Anchises on his back, embodying filial piety and devotion amidst turmoil. The inclusion of Penates - household gods symbolizing ancestral protection - emphasizes their significance in preserving familial bonds even in times of crisis. This allegorical representation draws inspiration from Paul Scarron's book plays which narrate tales of heroic deeds and resilience against adversity. Quint Lox's meticulous reproduction ensures that every detail is faithfully captured, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this iconic moment from classical mythology. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of the timeless themes it portrays: sacrifice, courage, and unwavering love for family. It serves as a testament to human strength in times
