EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the Vergilius Vaticanus, a vellum manuscript dating back to the 5th century AD. The image captures Dido, the legendary queen of Carthage, as she performs a solemn sacrifice. With an air of grace and determination, she stands before an altar adorned with offerings, her eyes fixed on the heavens above. The photograph beautifully highlights the intricate details and delicate brushstrokes that bring this ancient artwork to life. Every fold in Dido's flowing robes is meticulously rendered, while her regal presence exudes power and authority. The vibrant colors used by Roman artists centuries ago still shine through today, transporting viewers back in time to witness this pivotal moment in classical mythology. Housed within the prestigious Vatican Library in Vatican City, this precious manuscript holds immense historical significance. It not only preserves Virgil's epic poem but also provides invaluable insights into artistry during antiquity. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from www. bridgemanimages. com, we are reminded of the enduring allure of classical tales and their ability to transcend time. This image serves as a window into a distant world where queens ruled mighty empires and sacrifices were made for love and honor.
