Description: | RH CRE BONASONE, Giulio; (Italian; c.1498-c.1580) AFTER PERINO DEL VAGA (Pietro Buonaccorsi); (Italian; 1500-1546) TIB states that this print is not by Bonasone. It illustrates the famous opening passage of Virgil's Aeneid 1, in when the Sea God Neptune intervenes to prevent the destruction in a storm of Aeneas's fleet. The figure of Neptune on his chariot is taken from Marcantonio's celebrated "Quos Ego" engraving after Raphael. Rubens apparently copied this engraving (Scottish National Gallery, (RSA 1). The image is based on the now destroyed vault painting by Perino del Vaga in Genova in the Palazzo Doria. There is a finished drawing in the Louvre. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | QUOS EGO : POSEIDON : AENEID : MYTHOGLOGY : FOUNDATION OF ROME : SHIPWRECK : STORM : VIRGIL : VERGIL : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
