Drie voorstellingen uit Blumauers Aeneide 1789

"Drie voorstellingen uit Blumauers Aeneide" (1789) by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki is a series of three etchings depicting scenes from the Aeneid, an epic poem by Virgil. Each scene is framed by a text panel in Dutch and features a distinct narrative: a figure riding a sea monster, a group standing on clouds, and a crowd gathering before a giant horse. Chodowiecki's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of drama and movement, characteristic of his Neoclassical style. The etchings were originally part of a larger series illustrating Blumauer's German translation of the Aeneid.
