EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting created by Mattia Preti. This masterpiece, found in the Collection of Galleria Nazionale d Arte Antica in Rome, transports viewers to the ancient world of Greek mythology and Roman history. The scene depicted is inspired by Virgil's epic poem, "The Aeneid" where Aeneas carries his elderly father Anchises on his back as they flee from the burning city of Troy during the Trojan War. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and emotion of this pivotal moment in classical literature. Preti's use of vibrant colors and intricate details showcases his mastery of Baroque style. The composition draws us into the chaos and despair that surrounded Aeneas and Anchises as they navigated their escape amidst destruction and turmoil. This painting serves as an allegory for human resilience, determination, and familial love in times of adversity. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can find strength within ourselves to overcome challenges. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial event from ancient mythology brought to life through Preti's brushstrokes. Its presence at Galleria Nazionale d Arte Antica allows visitors to experience firsthand the power and beauty inherent in fine art. © Fine Art Images/Heritage Images
