EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a sketch titled "Aeneas Telling Dido the Misfortunes of Troy" by Baron Pierre-Narcisse Guerin. The painting, created before 1813, depicts a powerful scene from Greek mythology. In this neoclassical masterpiece, Aeneas, the Trojan hero, recounts the tragic tale of Troy's downfall to Queen Dido. The composition is set in a luxurious palace with attendants and handmaidens surrounding them. Aeneas sits on a daybed while passionately narrating the misfortunes that befell his homeland. Dido reclines attentively on a chaise longue as she listens intently to every word spoken by her guest. Guerin's romanticist style adds an air of picturesque beauty to this mythological moment. The coastal backdrop enhances the scenic atmosphere and evokes feelings of both grandeur and melancholy. The artist skillfully captures the emotions conveyed through facial expressions and body language. A sense of sorrow can be seen in Aeneas' eyes as he relives his people's tragedy, while Dido displays empathy mixed with curiosity. This stunning print transports viewers back in time to witness this poignant exchange between two iconic figures from ancient history. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and its ability to connect us across generations.
