"Simon Deceiving the Trojans" is an engraving by the Italian artist Giorgio Ghisi, also known as Giorgio Mantovano Ghisi, who was active during the Renaissance period. Created in the 16th century, this work is a fine example of Ghisi's skill in the art of engraving, showcasing his ability to translate complex scenes into detailed prints. The engraving depicts the episode from Virgil's "Aeneid" where the Greek soldier Sinon deceives the Trojans into bringing the Wooden Horse into the city of Troy, ultimately leading to the city's downfall.

Ghisi was renowned for his engravings after the designs of famous artists of his time, such as Raphael and Michelangelo, and his works are characterized by their intricate detail and the interplay of light and shadow. "Simon Deceiving the Trojans" is no exception, with its meticulous rendering of figures and architectural elements. The engraving not only reflects Ghisi's technical prowess but also serves as a testament to the cultural and artistic exchanges between Italy and Northern Europe during the Renaissance, as Ghisi's prints were widely disseminated and collected.

The artwork is part of Ghisi's broader oeuvre, which contributed to the dissemination of Italian Renaissance styles and motifs throughout Europe. His engravings were influential in spreading the Italianate style and were particularly esteemed for their combination of technical virtuosity and the intricate rendering of narrative scenes. "Simon Deceiving the Trojans" remains an important work within Ghisi's catalog and offers insight into the visual culture of the period, as well as the enduring appeal of classical themes in Renaissance art.
