EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Dido building Carthage" by Giovan Battista Pittoni, an oil on canvas painting housed in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The artwork measures 161x200 cm and depicts a scene from ancient mythology. In the painting, we see Dido, the legendary queen of Carthage (modern-day Tunisia), constructing her city with great determination and ingenuity. She is shown cutting pieces of cowhide to outline the contours of Carthage, symbolizing her resourcefulness and vision for building a prosperous civilization. Pittoni's skillful brushwork brings this mythological figure to life, capturing both her strength as a leader and her feminine grace. The vibrant colors used in this piece evoke the rich cultural heritage of North Africa while also reflecting Pittoni's Italian roots and his admiration for Greek art. This artwork not only celebrates Dido's historical significance but also serves as a testament to human creativity and ambition throughout history. It reminds us that even in ancient times, women played pivotal roles in shaping societies. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, viewers can appreciate Pittoni's mastery and immerse themselves in the beauty of classical mythology merged with artistic brilliance.
