EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print depicts the dramatic scene of Aeneas fleeing the burning city of Troy, carrying his aged father Anchises on his shoulders and leading his young son Julus by the hand. The European School artist skillfully captures the intensity and urgency of this moment from ancient Greek mythology. In this educational card from the late 19th or early 20th century, we witness Aeneas as a heroic figure, embodying strength, determination, and filial duty. As flames engulf their surroundings, he carries the weight of both past and future generations on his shoulders. His father's frailty contrasts with Julus' innocence, symbolizing the passing down of knowledge and legacy. The image evokes emotions ranging from fear to hope as Aeneas navigates through chaos to ensure their survival. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of destruction and despair, familial bonds can provide strength and motivation to persevere. Drawing inspiration from Virgil's epic poem "Aeneid" which recounts these events during the Trojan War, this artwork showcases how classical literature continues to inspire artists across centuries. Through its vibrant colors and attention to detail, it transports viewers back in time while highlighting universal themes such as heroism, sacrifice, and resilience. This antique print not only celebrates ancient Greece but also exemplifies European artistic traditions. Its inclusion in private collections speaks to its enduring appeal among art enthusiasts who appreciate both historical significance and aesthetic beauty.
