Aeneas vlucht met zijn familie uit Troje 1518

"Aeneas vlucht met zijn familie uit Troje" (1518) is a print by the Italian Renaissance artist Ugo da Carpi. The artwork depicts the scene from Virgil's Aeneid, where Aeneas, carrying his father Anchises on his back, and leading his son Ascanius by the hand, flees the burning city of Troy. The print, measuring 520 mm x 377 mm, exemplifies the artistic style of the Italian Renaissance with its detailed depiction of human anatomy and classical themes. Da Carpi, who is known for his chiaroscuro woodcuts, uses a dramatic interplay of light and shadow to create a sense of urgency and pathos in this pivotal moment from Roman mythology.
