"Aeneas Rescuing Anchises and Ascanius from the Sack of Troy" is a significant Baroque painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Lanfranco, created in the early 17th century. This artwork captures a pivotal moment from Virgil's epic poem, the "Aeneid," where the Trojan hero Aeneas carries his elderly father Anchises on his back, while leading his son Ascanius by the hand, as they flee the burning city of Troy. Lanfranco's depiction is renowned for its dynamic composition, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the emotional intensity conveyed through the figures' expressions and gestures.

Giovanni Lanfranco (1582–1647) was an influential painter of the Baroque period, known for his work in Rome, Naples, and Parma. He was a contemporary of other Baroque masters such as Annibale Carracci and Caravaggio, and his style reflects the rich interplay of influences during this artistically fertile era. Lanfranco's oeuvre includes frescoes, altarpieces, and canvases that often feature religious and mythological themes, rendered with a sense of movement and theatricality that are characteristic of the Baroque style.

The painting "Aeneas Rescuing Anchises and Ascanius from the Sack of Troy" exemplifies Lanfranco's skill in creating a narrative scene that is both dynamic and poignant. The composition is carefully orchestrated to guide the viewer's eye across the canvas, from the anguished faces of the Trojan family to the chaos of the besieged city in the background. Lanfranco employs a rich palette and masterful chiaroscuro to enhance the drama of the scene and to highlight the figures of Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanius as the focal point of the work.

This painting not only serves as an important example of Lanfranco's artistic legacy but also as a visual interpretation of a classic literary source, offering insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the 17th century. It remains an enduring testament to Lanfranco's ability to translate epic narratives into compelling visual form, capturing the human emotions and heroism that lie at the heart of the ancient story.
