Aeneas vlucht met zijn familie uit Troje 1873

"Aeneas vlucht met zijn familie uit Troje" (Aeneas Fleeing Troy with His Family), created in 1873 by Dutch artist Wilhelmus Petrus van Geldorp, depicts the dramatic escape of Aeneas, a Trojan hero, and his family from their burning city. The scene is rendered with a sense of urgency as figures scramble across the landscape. Aeneas carries his father on his back, while his wife and son follow closely behind. Van Geldorp captures the raw emotion of the moment, making it a compelling depiction of this important moment in Roman mythology.
