EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 17th-century print titled "Venus tells Aeneas and his friend Achates to go to Carthage, 1679" we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in classical mythology. Created by the talented Flemish artist Giovanni Francesco Romanelli, this Italian-inspired masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of the story. The scene unfolds as Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, appears before Aeneas and his loyal companion Achates. Bathed in ethereal light, she imparts a crucial message - they must journey to Carthage. The intricate tapestry weave silk and wool technique employed by Michael Wauters adds depth and texture to this remarkable artwork. As we gaze upon this print at The Cleveland Museum of Art, our imagination is ignited with thoughts of adventure and destiny. We can almost feel the weight of their decision as Aeneas contemplates leaving behind all that he knows for an uncertain future. This image serves as a testament to the enduring power of ancient tales that continue to captivate us centuries later. It reminds us of our own journeys through life - sometimes guided by unseen forces or divine intervention. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has once again brought history alive through artistry with this exquisite print. Let it transport you into a world where gods walk among mortals and fate hangs delicately in balance.
