EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant scene from "Stories from Virgil" by the Reverend Alfred J. Church, M. A. , with illustrations by Bartolomeo Pinelli. Published in London in 1879, this image depicts Turnus standing over the lifeless bodies of Almo and Galaesus amidst a clash between Trojans and local Latin shepherds. In this tragic moment frozen in time, we witness the devastating consequences of war as innocence and wisdom fall victim to its merciless grip. The young boy Almo represents the loss of youthful potential, while the old man Galaesus symbolizes wisdom extinguished too soon. Turnus's presence adds an intriguing layer to this composition. As he gazes upon the fallen bodies, his expression reveals conflicting emotions - perhaps remorse or contemplation about the cost of victory. This depiction invites viewers to ponder themes such as sacrifice, honor, and moral responsibility. The intricate details within this print showcase Pinelli's artistic prowess. From delicate brushstrokes that capture every fold of fabric to nuanced expressions that convey deep emotion, each element contributes to a rich visual narrative. Through "Stories from Virgil". Church and Pinelli transport us back in time to ancient Rome where epic tales unfolded against a backdrop of heroism and tragedy. This print serves as both an exquisite piece of artistry and a thought-provoking window into humanity's eternal struggle for power and its profound impact on individuals caught in its wake
