EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a mesmerizing view of Carthage, brought to life through the skilled artistry of Claude Lorrain. Using pen, watercolour, and bistre wash techniques, Lorrain masterfully depicts the ancient city with Dido and Aeneas at its center. The composition showcases neoclassical elements combined with classical architecture, creating a harmonious blend of past and present. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke as he skillfully portrays the intricate structure of columns and the bustling port below. Chiaroscuro techniques add depth and drama to the scene, enhancing the overall atmosphere. As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time to witness Carthage during its heyday as a powerful empire. The quay teems with activity as groups of soldiers mingle with women going about their daily lives. In the distance stands an imposing tholos temple overlooking a marina filled with boats. Lorrain's study sketch allows us to appreciate his artistic process while providing insight into 17th-century aesthetics. This artwork serves as both an homage to antiquity and a testament to Lorrain's talent for capturing historical moments on canvas. Displayed within Musee Bonnat in Bayonne, France, this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in Carthaginian history while marveling at Lorrain's ability to breathe life into his subjects through his brushstrokes alone.
