The Origin of Rome - A Journey from Troy to the Eternal City
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, created by artist Bernard de Montfaucon in 1757, transports us back to ancient times. The scene depicts a pivotal moment in Greek mythology as Anchises, the father of Aeneas, is carried on his son's shoulders while escaping the burning city of Troy. Anchises' trust rests upon his son's strong frame as they embark on a treacherous journey that would ultimately lead to the founding of Rome. The engraving beautifully captures the bond between father and son, their hands tightly clasped together symbolizing unity and determination. As we gaze at this full-length illustration, we are reminded of Virgil's epic poem "Aeneid" which narrates this heroic tale. Montfaucon's artistry brings life to this eighteenth-century masterpiece; every stroke meticulously etched onto paper tells a story steeped in history and legend. The monochrome effect adds an air of timelessness to the image, emphasizing its significance across generations. As we admire this work of art, let us reflect on how it encapsulates not only Roman mythology but also themes such as family bonds and resilience. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and destruction, hope can emerge through courage and love.
