"Aeneas Recounting The Trojan War to Dido" is a neoclassical painting by the French artist Baron Pierre-Narcisse Guérin, completed in 1815. The artwork is a representation of a scene from Virgil's epic poem, the "Aeneid," where the Trojan hero Aeneas narrates the events of the Trojan War and the subsequent fall of Troy to Queen Dido of Carthage. Guérin's painting captures the moment of storytelling, emphasizing the emotional exchange between the two central figures.

The painting is a reflection of the neoclassical style, which was prevalent in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, characterized by a return to classical antiquity for subject matter and an emphasis on idealized forms and composition. Guérin, a prominent figure in French neoclassicism, was known for his expressive figures and dramatic use of light and shadow, which are evident in this work. The painting's composition, with its focus on the interaction between Aeneas and Dido, and the use of classical drapery and architecture, underscores the neoclassical aesthetic.

Baron Pierre-Narcisse Guérin (1774–1833) was a student of the famous French painter Jacques-Louis David and won the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1797. His works often dealt with themes from classical literature and mythology, and "Aeneas Recounting The Trojan War to Dido" is a prime example of his engagement with these narratives. The painting not only illustrates Guérin's skill in storytelling through visual art but also reflects the cultural and artistic interests of the period in which it was created.

The painting is significant in the oeuvre of Guérin as it showcases his ability to convey complex narratives and emotions. It also contributes to the broader tradition of history painting, which was considered the highest genre of painting due to its capacity to depict noble and moralizing subjects. "Aeneas Recounting The Trojan War to Dido" remains an important work for both its artistic merit and its place within the context of neoclassical painting and the history of European art.
