Description:
|
|
Bernini was commissioned by Scipione Borghese to produce a series of over life-size marble statues for his new villa by the Porta Pinciana. These technically brilliant and surprisingly novel works rapidly turned Bernini into a European celebrity. His first achievement as a monumental sculptor was Aeneas, Anchises and Ascanius Leaving Troy, a work once attributed to his father Pietro. Evoking the passage in the Aeneid in which Aeneas carries his father and leads his son away from the burning city, the group is notable for the realistic characterization of the three figures, their relative positions introducing a new naturalism.
