This etching by Samuel Bottschild, titled "Aeneas draagt zijn vader Anchises op zijn rug" (Aeneas carries his father Anchises on his back), depicts a scene from Virgil's epic poem, The Aeneid. In this rendition, Aeneas, a Trojan hero, is seen carrying his father, Anchises, on his back, as they flee from the burning city of Troy. The image is a dynamic composition, with a strong sense of movement and drama. Bottschild’s work highlights the emotional weight of this pivotal moment in the story, capturing the strength of Aeneas and the vulnerability of Anchises, creating a powerful and moving image.
