EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Blumauer's Aeneid" by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, dates back to 1789 and was originally published in the "Königl. Grosbritannischer Historischer Genealogischer Calender" (Royal British Historical Genealogical Calendar) of the following year. The image depicts a scene from Aloys Blumauer's satirical work "Aeneis travestirt" (Travesty of the Aeneid), published in 1783. Blumauer's work was a travesty for anticlerical purposes, poking fun at the Catholic Church during the Austrian Enlightenment under Emperor Joseph II. The print shows a charioteer, likely representing Aeneas, holding the reins of a chariot adorned with figures representing various continents and geographical features. The chariot is labeled "America," highlighting the influence of the New World on European culture. The charioteer's attire and the overall composition are reminiscent of the Aeneid, but the satirical intent is clear. Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, the artist, masterfully etched this image in black and white, adding to its timeless and humorous appeal. The print is an intriguing example of the European artistic scene during the 18th century, showcasing elements of comedy, concept, and geography. The satirical nature of Blumauer's work and its context within the Austrian Enlightenment add depth and intrigue to this image.
