EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the ancient world of Greek mythology. The scene depicted is from "Stories From Virgil" by Reverend Alfred J. Church, M. A. , with illustrations by Bartolomeo Pinelli. Published in 1879, it beautifully captures a pivotal moment during the Trojan War. As flames engulf the city of Troy, Aeneas stands before us with a conflicted expression on his face. Consumed by anger and grief, he contemplates taking revenge on Helen, whom he holds responsible for igniting this devastating war. However, just as he raises his sword to strike her down, Venus herself materializes before him. Venus' divine presence radiates grace and wisdom as she gently dissuades Aeneas from committing such an act of violence. She explains that Helen is not to blame; rather it is the fault of the gods who manipulated events leading up to this catastrophic conflict. This powerful image encapsulates both the turmoil and enlightenment experienced by Aeneas in this crucial moment. It reminds us that even in times of great despair and confusion, there can be moments of clarity when we question our beliefs and reconsider our actions. Whitemay's masterful reproduction allows us to appreciate every intricate detail within Pinelli's original design while immersing ourselves in this timeless tale from classical literature.
