EDITORS COMMENTS
The Departure of Dido and Aeneas for the Hunt, painted by Jean Bernard Restout in 1772-4, captures a pivotal moment from Virgil's epic poem, The Aeneid. This exquisite oil on canvas print, measuring 32x40 cm, is housed in the prestigious Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In this classical masterpiece, we witness the grandeur and drama of ancient Rome as it unfolds before our eyes. The painting depicts a scene where Dido, the powerful Queen of Carthage, bids farewell to her lover Aeneas as he embarks on a hunting expedition with his companions. The composition showcases an array of beautifully rendered figures - men and women dressed in regal attire - gathered outside a magnificent palace. Restout skillfully captures the emotions that permeate this poignant moment. Dido's face reveals both longing and sorrow as she gazes upon her departing hero. Meanwhile, Aeneas stands tall atop his majestic horse surrounded by hounds eagerly awaiting their hunt. This artwork not only pays homage to Virgil's timeless tale but also exemplifies Restout's mastery as a French painter during the Neoclassical period. Through meticulous attention to detail and vibrant brushstrokes, he transports us back to an era filled with mythological heroes and legendary love stories.
