EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Aeneas and the shade of Dido" artist Bartolomeo Pinelli brings to life a poignant moment from Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid. The scene depicts Aeneas, the legendary hero of ancient Rome, encountering the ghostly figure of his former lover, Queen Dido. The composition is filled with an ethereal atmosphere as Aeneas stands before Dido's shade in a desolate landscape. The spirit appears sorrowful and hauntingly beautiful, her translucent form contrasting against the dark background. A sense of longing and regret emanates from their interaction, capturing the emotional depth found within Virgil's verses. Pinelli skillfully captures both the physicality and spirituality of these characters through his meticulous attention to detail. Every line and brushstroke contributes to their expressive faces and flowing garments. This print serves as a visual testament to Pinelli's ability to translate complex emotions into art. This artwork is part of a series illustrating Stories from Virgil by Alfred J Church, showcasing how classical literature continues to inspire artists across centuries. It reminds us that even in our modern world, we can find solace in timeless tales like those found in Virgil's poetry – stories that continue to resonate with themes of love, loss, duty, and destiny. As we gaze upon this striking image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded once again why great works of art have enduring power: they allow us glimpses
