"Aeneas, Evander en Pallas in een landschap" is a black and white etching by William Unger, a German artist known for his detailed illustrations. Created between 1861 and 1889, the artwork depicts a scene from Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid. It shows the Trojan hero Aeneas, the Arcadian king Evander, and his son Pallas in a wooded landscape. The dramatic composition and intricate details create a powerful visual narrative, highlighting Unger's mastery of this printmaking technique. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, this piece is a testament to Unger's artistic talent and the enduring appeal of classical literature.
