EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the Aeneid, Canto V. Painted by Nicolo dell Abate in the 16th century, this fresco titled "Landscape with a woman showing a castle to a child and Venus prays Neptune to protect Aeneas ships" is now housed in the Galleria e Museo Estense in Modena, Italy. In Lunetta 3 of this artwork, we see a serene landscape where a woman points towards an enchanting castle while explaining its significance to an intrigued child. The artist skillfully portrays their interaction against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery. Scene 12 depicts an intense moment as Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, fervently prays to Neptune for protection over Aeneas' fleet of ships. This prayer serves as a plea for safeguarding her son's journey during his epic adventures described in Virgil's ancient Roman poem. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these mythical scenes to life, showcasing dell Abate's mastery as an artist. These frescoes were originally part of the Camerino dell Eneide within Rocca dei Conti Boiardo in Scandiano before being detached and preserved at Galleria Estense. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, viewers can immerse themselves in both the natural beauty of the landscape and the dramatic mythology depicted within it. It serves as a testament to Dell Abate's talent for capturing emotion through artistry that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
