EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a powerful moment from the epic tale of "Stories from Virgil". The Reverend Alfred J. Church's literary masterpiece comes to life through the exquisite illustrations by Bartolomeo Pinelli, capturing our imagination and drawing us into the ancient world. Neptune, also known as Poseidon, takes center stage as he commands authority over the tumultuous waves that threaten Aeneas' journey. As an ally of Venus and her son Aeneas, Neptune uses his divine power to still the ferocious storm sent by Juno. With a commanding presence and unwavering determination, he ensures Aeneas' safe passage to Italy. The intricate details in this print bring forth a sense of awe and wonder. From Neptune's regal stature to the crashing waves frozen in motion, every element tells its own story within this larger narrative. The colors are rich and vibrant, immersing us further into this mythological realm. Published in 1879 by Seeley, Jackson & Halliday in London, this timeless piece continues to captivate audiences with its artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with mythology and our enduring connection with ancient tales that transcend time. Whitemay's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind Pinelli's illustrations and the significance of Church's retelling of Virgil's stories.
