This fresco by Pietro da Cortona depicts the landing of the Trojans at the mouth of the Tiberis. The work showcases the artist's mastery of perspective and dynamic composition, characteristic of the Roman Baroque.
Pietro da Cortona, a leading figure of the Roman Baroque, created dynamic and theatrical compositions that epitomised the era's aesthetic. Known for his mastery of perspective and illusionistic effects, Cortona's frescoes adorn numerous palaces and churches in Rome and beyond. His work synthesised classical ideals with the exuberance of the Baroque, influencing generations of artists. 'Landing of the Trojans at the Mouth of Tiberis' is a section of a larger fresco cycle. It depicts a scene from Virgil's Aeneid, showing the arrival of the Trojans in Italy. The composition is filled with figures in motion, rendered with anatomical precision and expressive gestures. The artist uses a light, airy palette, dominated by blues, creams, and soft browns, to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The elaborate architectural framework surrounding the scene further enhances the illusionistic effect, blurring the boundaries between the painted surface and the actual space.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
