EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases a poignant moment from Henry Purcell's beloved 17th-century opera, "The Loves of Dido and Aeneas," with a libretto by Nahum Tate. The opera, first performed in London around 1689, tells the tragic tale of Dido, Queen of Carthage, and her ill-fated love for the Trojan hero Aeneas. In this scene, Dido, portrayed here with a regal and sorrowful expression, bids farewell to her loyal friend Belinda, as she prepares to take her own life following Aeneas' departure. The tender and heart-wrenching aria, "When I am laid in earth," expresses Dido's profound sadness and despair. The opera's haunting music, composed by the brilliant Henry Purcell, perfectly captures the emotional depth and complexity of the story. The Loves of Dido and Aeneas is considered a masterpiece of the English Baroque period and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless themes of love, loss, and betrayal. This print, with its intricate details and rich colors, offers a glimpse into the world of 17th-century opera and the powerful storytelling that defined the genre during this period. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Purcell's music and the continued relevance of the human emotions that it so beautifully conveys.
