"Aeneas's Farewell to Dido in Carthago" is a 1676 painting by the French artist Claude Lorrain (born Claude Gellée), who is widely recognized for his mastery in the portrayal of light and landscape in the service of historical and mythological subjects. This work is a luminous example of Lorrain's classical landscape paintings, which often feature scenes from ancient history or mythology set within idyllic and pastoral settings.

The painting depicts a poignant moment from Virgil's epic poem, the "Aeneid," where Aeneas, the Trojan hero, takes leave of Dido, the queen of Carthage, to fulfill his destiny and continue his journey to found what would become the city of Rome. Lorrain's interpretation of this tragic farewell is imbued with a sense of drama and emotion, as the figures of Aeneas and Dido are set against the backdrop of a sweeping vista that exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing the harmonious interplay of light and nature.

Created during the latter part of Lorrain's career, "Aeneas's Farewell to Dido in Carthago" showcases the artist's mature style, characterized by its refined color palette, serene composition, and the delicate rendering of atmospheric effects. The painting is a testament to Lorrain's influence on the development of landscape painting in Europe and his enduring legacy as one of the leading figures of the classical Baroque style.

This work is held in high esteem among art historians and is considered one of Lorrain's significant contributions to the canon of Western art. It continues to be studied for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of mythological narratives within the context of the natural world. "Aeneas's Farewell to Dido in Carthago" remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Claude Lorrain and a valuable artifact of 17th-century French art.
