The Banquet of Dido and Aeneas
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of doomed love and tragic destiny. The model for a tapestry in the Story of Aeneas series, this artwork by Perino del Vaga depicts a pivotal moment from Virgil's epic poem, "The Aeneid". In this scene, we witness the passionate encounter between Queen Dido of Carthage and the Trojan warrior Aeneas. Set within an exquisite classical architecture alcove, the couple sits at a lavish feast surrounded by waiters and servants attending to their every need. Dressed in elaborate Roman costumes, Dido and Aeneas are portrayed as powerful figures with intense expressions on their faces. Their love is palpable yet tinged with sorrow, knowing that their union is fated to end tragically. Perino del Vaga's masterful use of pen, ink, and wash brings depth and texture to this drawing. Every detail is meticulously rendered - from the intricate folds of fabric to the delicate features on each character's face. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness one of history's most iconic love stories unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grandeur and opulence, fate can be cruel and love can be both beautiful and heartbreaking. This print allows us to appreciate not only Perino del Vaga's artistic talent but also his ability to capture complex emotions through his work. It stands
