EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning early-mid 17th century painting by Francois de Nome, titled "The Burning of Troy with the Flight of Aeneas and Anchises," captures the dramatic and pivotal moment in Greek mythology when the ancient city of Troy was sacked by the Greeks. The Trojan Horse, depicted at the center of the composition, had been used by the Greeks as a ruse to enter the city and win the long-lasting Trojan War. In the chaos of the invasion, Aeneas, the legendary Trojan hero, is seen escaping with his father Anchises and the infant Ascanius, as the city burns around them. The painting is rich in detail, with vibrant colors and intricate brushstrokes that bring the scene to life. The Trojan Horse, a towering wooden structure adorned with sculptures and toys, stands out against the backdrop of the burning city. The expression of fear and determination on the faces of Aeneas and Anchises as they flee the invading Greeks adds to the dramatic tension of the scene. This oil on canvas masterpiece, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a testament to the enduring power of mythological storytelling and the artistic skill of Francois de Nome.
