EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bernini's masterpiece, "Aeneas and Anchises" housed in the prestigious Galleria Borghese in Rome. The renowned sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini skillfully brings to life the emotional narrative of this baroque artwork. In this scene from Virgil's epic poem, "The Aeneid" we witness Aeneas, a Trojan prince and valiant soldier, carrying his elderly father Anchises on his back as they escape the ruins of Troy. The weight of their shared history and familial bond is palpable in their expressions - determination etched on Aeneas' face while concern and gratitude radiate from Anchises. Bernini's attention to detail is evident in every contour of the marble sculpture. He masterfully captures not only physical strength but also vulnerability through intricate textures that highlight both youthfulness and old age. This portrayal serves as a poignant reminder that heroes can emerge at any stage of life. The composition beautifully juxtaposes generations - a powerful symbol representing continuity amidst chaos. It evokes admiration for filial duty and respect for elders, emphasizing timeless values cherished across cultures. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece, they are transported into an ancient world where heroism intertwines with love between father and son. Through its artistic brilliance, this photograph immortalizes Bernini's genius while inviting contemplation about our own connections to family heritage and the enduring power of sacrifice.
