EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a powerful and tragic moment in history. The fresco, titled "Lunette depicting Aeneas Fleeing from Burning Troy Carrying his Father Anchises Followed by Ascanius Carrying his Mother" was created by the talented Italian artist Annibale Carracci in 1596. The scene depicts Aeneas, the Trojan prince and hero of Virgil's epic poem "Aeneid" desperately fleeing from the burning city of Troy. In this heart-wrenching image, Aeneas carries his elderly father Anchises on his back while his young son Ascanius follows closely behind, carrying his mother. The composition is filled with emotion as we witness the weight of responsibility and sacrifice that rests upon Aeneas' shoulders. The intensity of their expressions conveys both fear and determination as they navigate through chaos and destruction. Carracci's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the physical strain but also the psychological turmoil experienced by these characters. The rich colors and intricate textures bring life to this historical event, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its tragedy. Displayed at Palazzo Farnese in Rome, Italy, this artwork stands as a testament to Carracci's mastery as an artist. Through this print captured by Raffaello Bencini, we are given a glimpse into one of art history's most poignant moments - a reminder of human resilience amidst adversity.
