Aeneas Carthage Mercury Summons

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to a pivotal moment in classical mythology. The image depicts the powerful god Mercury summoning Aeneas, the legendary Trojan hero, to leave Carthage. With its striking composition and intricate details, this artwork truly brings this ancient tale to life. Mercury, portrayed with divine grace and authority, stands tall amidst billowing clouds as he extends his arm towards Aeneas. His presence is commanding yet ethereal, emphasizing his role as a messenger of the gods. Aeneas gazes back at him with a mix of longing and reluctance; torn between love for Queen Dido and duty towards his destiny. The setting is equally enchanting - Carthage's grandeur unfolds behind them like an opulent tapestry. Vibrant hues of reds and golds illuminate the cityscape while lush greenery frames their encounter. Every brushstroke seems to convey both beauty and melancholy; capturing the emotional turmoil that lies beneath their meeting. This evocative print encapsulates one of the most poignant moments in Virgil's epic poem "The Aeneid". It reminds us that even heroes must face difficult choices on their path toward greatness. As viewers, we are invited to reflect upon our own journeys - those moments when we too have been called away from comfort or love in pursuit of something greater. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within your personal collection, this exquisite print serves as a timeless reminder that sometimes sacrifices
