Aeneas draagt zijn vader uit Troje 1600 - 1669

This etching, "Aeneas draagt zijn vader uit Troje" (Aeneas carries his father out of Troy) was created by the German artist Ludwig Büsinck between 1600 and 1669. The print depicts Aeneas, a Trojan hero, carrying his aged father Anchises on his back, escaping the burning city of Troy. The etching is a powerful representation of filial piety, with Aeneas showing great strength and devotion to his father. The scene is rendered in detailed hatching and cross-hatching, creating a sense of depth and movement. The engraving's fine lines and dramatic composition make it a striking example of Baroque art.
