EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white chalk print titled "The Dream of Aeneas" artist Salvator Rosa takes us on a journey through the mythical world of ancient Rome. Created in 1663, during the Baroque period, this artwork measures 30 x 22.4 cm (11 13/16 x 8 13/16 in. ), showcasing Rosa's meticulous attention to detail. "The Dream of Aeneas" depicts a pivotal moment from Virgil's epic poem, The Aeneid. Aeneas, the Trojan hero and central figure of the story, is shown deep in slumber as he receives a divine vision. Through his dream, he is guided by the gods towards his destiny: founding Rome. Rosa's skillful use of black and white chalk creates an ethereal atmosphere that enhances the dreamlike quality of the scene. The delicate lines and shading bring forth a sense of movement and emotion within each character portrayed. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we are transported into Aeneas' subconscious realm where myth intertwines with reality. We can almost feel his anticipation and determination as he embarks on his fated path. "The Dream of Aeneas" serves as a testament to Salvator Rosa's mastery as an Italian artist during the seventeenth century. It invites us to reflect upon our own dreams and aspirations while immersing ourselves in one man's extraordinary journey towards greatness.
