Aeneas and The Sibyl | Unknown Master | 1800 17th Century Bring timeless art to anyThis early 19th century painting by an unknown master depicts the story from the Aeneid, by the Roman poet Virgil. The Trojan military leader Aeneas wants to visit the Underworld in order to consult the ghost of his father. He meets the Cumaean Sibyl (a priestess at Cumae, a Greek colony near Naples, Italy). She agrees to guide him through the kingdom of the dead. The deep lake, surrounded by dark woods, was believed to lead to the Underworld. Print:
