Description: | Louis de Caullery painted several different versions of The Sack of Troy, experimenting with different configurations. This painting shares a number of features with those works. As well as displaying a similar stylistic approach, the same column, towering flames and implausibly proportioned wooden horse are also present in each. Perhaps the most distinctive similarity, however, is Aeneas carrying his father, Anchises. This painting in particular copies the figures, and the rotunda behind them, directly from Agostino Carracci's engraving after Federico Barocci's Aeneas' Flight from Troy, and inserts them into the lower left of this very different composition. | Subjects: | mythology (Sack of Troy); figure; animal (horse) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Caullery, Louis de (Flemish painter, before 1582-after 1621) Æ Attributed to circle of Attributed to circle of Toeput, Lodewijk (Flemish painter and printmaker, ca. 1550-ca. 1605, active in Italy) After Carracci, Agostino (Italian painter, engraver, and draftsman, 1557-1602) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8876... | Go to resource |
