"The Death of Dido, Queen of Carthage" is a 17th-century painting by the Italian Baroque artist Carlo Francesco Nuvolone. The artwork depicts the tragic demise of the legendary Queen Dido, a central figure in Roman mythology and literature, most notably in Virgil's epic poem "The Aeneid." In the narrative, Dido, the founder and first queen of Carthage, falls in love with the Trojan hero Aeneas, who has been shipwrecked on her shores. However, when Aeneas leaves Carthage to fulfill his destiny in Italy, Dido is overcome with despair and ultimately takes her own life.

Nuvolone's interpretation of this dramatic moment captures the emotional intensity of Dido's final act. The painting is characterized by its rich color palette, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the expressive portrayal of Dido's anguish. The composition focuses on the figure of Dido, often shown in the act of falling onto her funeral pyre, as described in the ancient text. Nuvolone's work reflects the Baroque era's fascination with dramatic subjects and its emphasis on emotional expression and dynamic movement.

Carlo Francesco Nuvolone (1609–1662) was a prominent painter in Lombardy during the Baroque period. His oeuvre includes religious and mythological scenes, portraits, and still lifes. "The Death of Dido, Queen of Carthage" is considered one of his significant mythological works and contributes to the understanding of Baroque artistic interpretations of classical themes.

The painting is notable for its historical and artistic value, providing insight into the Baroque period's approach to classical antiquity and the enduring influence of "The Aeneid" in the arts. It remains an important piece in the study of 17th-century Italian painting and continues to be appreciated for its emotional depth and technical mastery.
