EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Banquet of Queen Dido of Carthage in honour of the Trojans" transports us back to ancient times, immersing us in a scene filled with grandeur and opulence. Created by Heinrich Kley in the early 20th century, this artwork captures a pivotal moment from Vergil's Aeneid. The banquet takes place in Carthage, where Queen Dido graciously hosts the Trojan refugees led by Aeneas. The composition is richly detailed, showcasing an array of sumptuous dishes on beautifully adorned buffets. The guests are depicted enjoying their meal, engaged in lively conversation and laughter. Kley's skillful draughtsmanship brings each character to life, particularly highlighting the elegance and grace of the women present at the feast. Their flowing garments and delicate features exude femininity and charm. Carthage itself is portrayed as a vibrant city with its distinctive architecture visible in the background. This portrayal serves as a reminder of its historical significance as one of North Africa's major civilizations. Through this artwork, we are transported into an era long gone but forever immortalized through literature and art. It invites us to appreciate not only Kley's artistic talent but also Virgil's enduring tale that continues to captivate audiences even today.
