EDITORS COMMENTS
Ludolph Busing's masterful woodcut print, "Aeneas Carrying His Father, Anchises," dates back to the 17th century and offers a captivating depiction of a poignant moment in ancient Greek mythology. The image portrays Aeneas, a Trojan hero, carrying his aging father Anchises on his back as they make their way out of the fallen city of Troy. The chiaroscuro technique, which uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and texture to the intricately detailed woodcut. Busing's use of black and beige on ivory laid paper creates a striking contrast, with the beige background highlighting the black figures and their intricate details. The elderly Anchises, with a serene expression on his face, leans back on Aeneas' shoulders, trusting his son to carry him to safety. Aeneas, a determined and strong figure, looks forward with a sense of purpose, his expression a mix of love, duty, and determination. This woodcut print, created by the German artist Ludolph Busing (also known as Businck or Büsinck), is a testament to the enduring power of family bonds, even in the face of adversity. The image has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, and is a cherished piece of cultural heritage. The print is a powerful reminder of the importance of family and the concept of fatherhood, and is a must-see for anyone interested in ancient Greek mythology, art history, or the human condition.
