EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness Michel Corneille's masterpiece, "The Purification of Aeneas". Painted by the renowned French artist between 1642 and 1708, this particular piece was completed around 1663. Corneille's exceptional talent is evident in every stroke of his pen and brown ink with blue wash over traces of graphite. The meticulous attention to detail brings the scene to life on cream laid paper. The artist even squared the composition in graphite for transfer, showcasing his dedication to precision. "The Purification of Aeneas" depicts a pivotal moment from Virgil's epic poem, where Aeneas undergoes a ritual cleansing after returning victorious from battle. This powerful narrative is beautifully captured by Corneille's skilled hand. Adding further depth and elegance to this artwork is a later framing line in brown ink that enhances its overall presentation. Quint Lox has expertly preserved this remarkable piece through photography, allowing us to appreciate it anew. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but be captivated by Corneille's ability to convey emotion and storytelling through his artistry. It serves as a testament not only to his immense talent but also as a reminder of the enduring power of classical mythology within French culture.
