EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from an ancient Greek vase, depicting the poignant flight of Aeneas from Troy with his sons. The image beautifully captures the essence of devotion and filial piety as Aeneas carries his father Anchises on his back, leading their family to safety. The black figure style used by the female artist adds a touch of elegance and timelessness to this portrayal of one of history's most iconic tales - the Trojan War. The intricate details on the vase are brought to life through this color lithograph created by a French School artist in the 19th century. In this powerful composition, we witness not only a father's determination to protect his children but also the strength and resilience passed down through generations. It is a testament to familial bonds that transcend even the darkest times. Believed to be originally housed in Leiden at Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, this image now resides in Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. Its presence within eArchives Charmet allows us access into ancient mythology and reminds us of our shared human heritage. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a visual reminder of the timeless themes it represents - love, sacrifice, and survival against all odds.
