"The Flight of Aeneas and his Family from the Sack of Troy" is a significant 17th-century oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Francesco Romanelli. This artwork captures a pivotal moment from the ancient epic narrative, the Aeneid, authored by the Roman poet Virgil. The painting depicts the Trojan hero Aeneas, carrying his aged father Anchises on his back, leading his son Ascanius by the hand, and accompanied by his wife Creusa as they flee the burning city of Troy, which has fallen to Greek forces after a ten-year siege.

Romanelli, a native of Viterbo, was a prominent painter of his time, known for his classical style and for being a favored artist of the Barberini family, including Pope Urban VIII. His work is characterized by its dynamic compositions, elegant figures, and the use of light to convey drama and emotion. "The Flight of Aeneas and his Family from the Sack of Troy" is no exception, showcasing Romanelli's skill in rendering historical and mythological subjects with both grandeur and pathos.

The painting is a masterful representation of the themes of duty, heroism, and piety, which are central to the Aeneid. Aeneas's devotion to his family and his destiny to found a new Troy, which would eventually lead to the establishment of Rome, is at the heart of the composition. The work is imbued with a sense of urgency and movement, as the figures appear to hasten through the chaotic backdrop of the devastated city.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting's current location, provenance, and history of ownership are not specified. However, it remains an important example of Romanelli's oeuvre and a visual interpretation of one of the most enduring stories of classical antiquity. The painting is a valuable resource for those interested in Baroque art, the cultural output of the Barberini period, and the visual culture surrounding the Aeneid and its reception in the arts.
