EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stunning fresco titled "Hunting scene with falcon and Aeneas entering the Averno (the Underworld) from Aeneid, Canto VI" by Nicolo dell Abate. The artwork is housed in the Galleria e Museo Estense in Modena, Italy. The image showcases two distinct scenes depicted within the fresco. In Lunette 4, we witness an intricate hunting scene featuring a majestic falcon. The artist's attention to detail brings this moment to life, immersing us in the excitement of the chase. In Scene 13, we are transported to a more somber setting as Aeneas descends into the depths of the Underworld known as Averno. This particular scene is inspired by Virgil's epic poem "Aeneid" specifically Canto VI. Through his masterful brushstrokes, Nicolo dell Abate skillfully portrays this pivotal moment in which Aeneas embarks on his journey through hell. The overall composition of this fresco is awe-inspiring; its architectural elements provide a sense of grandeur while flames engulf sinners in their torment. The presence of nudity throughout adds an additional layer of vulnerability and symbolism to the piece. This print beautifully captures both the artistic mastery and emotional depth present within Nicolo dell Abate's work. It serves as a testament to his ability to transport viewers into mythological realms and evoke profound emotions through his artistry.
