About Artwork: (About 1664-8) "Aeneas and Dido have been caught in a storm created by the goddess Juno. They shelter in a cave and embrace. A putto (winged infant) holds Aeneas’s horse and two other putti hover above, one holding a burning torch and the other a bow and arrow as symbols of love and romance. In the sky is Juno, dressed in blue and wearing a crown. Venus sits beside her, accompanied by two white doves, symbolising lust. To their right, holding a torch, is Hymen, god of marriage. The fierceness of the storm is conveyed by the bent and twisted tree branches, blown by wind coming from the top left corner. Through gloomy clouds, a ray of sunlight illuminates the detail and vibrant yellow-green tones of the foliage. The dappled areas of light and shade lead our eyes across the landscape into the distance. Gaspard Dughet painted the landscape and Carlo Maratta added the figures and dogs." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
