EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The deification of Aeneas" by Daniel van den Dijck, we are transported to a realm where mythology and spirituality intertwine. The image depicts the pivotal moment when Aeneas, the mortal hero from Virgil's epic poem, is being transformed into a god. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn to the majestic river god Numicus who stands at the center of attention. With his divine presence and flowing waters, he symbolizes both power and purification. Surrounding him are ethereal water nymphs and cherubic putti, their delicate forms adding an air of enchantment to the composition. Aeneas himself can be seen on bended knee as he receives this sacred transformation. Clad in armor that speaks of his heroic past, he humbly accepts his new destiny with grace and reverence. The Latin verse inscribed on the ground beneath him further emphasizes the significance of this momentous occasion. Through this artwork, Van den Dijck skillfully captures not only religious devotion but also spiritual transcendence. It serves as a reminder that even mortals can ascend to greatness through faith and divine intervention. Quint Lox's expert curation brings out every intricate detail in this piece from 1635-1670. As we contemplate "The deification of Aeneas" we find ourselves immersed in its rich symbolism and timeless message about humanity's quest for purpose beyond earthly existence.
