EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th century mythological scene, titled "Aeneas Fleeing Troy?" by Aniello Redita, offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of Dutch art and Greek mythology. Redita masterfully captures the heroic moment when Aeneas, the legendary Trojan prince, decides to abandon his burning city and embark on a perilous journey to Italy. The scene is set against the backdrop of an ancient city engulfed in flames, with the towering walls of Troy crumbling in the distance. Aeneas, dressed in a richly colored, flowing cape, is shown in the foreground, turning back to bid farewell to his loved ones. His son, Ascanius, clings to him, while Creusa, his wife, is seen in the background, her face etched with sorrow. Redita's use of ink on paper and watercolor paint creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the scene to life. The group of men in the background, dressed in various stages of apparel, add to the chaos and urgency of the moment. The linens used to create the clothing and dresses of the figures are rendered with intricate detail, showcasing the artist's dedication to authenticity. This unfinished masterpiece, with its vibrant reds and rich colors, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Redita's work and the timeless appeal of Greek mythology. The Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands is fortunate to house this precious piece of European art history, allowing us to appreciate the heroic tale of Aeneas and the ancient world he inhabited.
