'Aeneas with the Sybil & Charon' is a notable masterpiece by Italian Baroque artist Giuseppe Maria Crespi, created between 1700 and 1705. The painting portrays an episode from Virgil's epic Latin poem, 'The Aeneid,' which the Trojan hero Aeneas, guided by the prophetess Sibyl, meets Charon, the ferryman of Hades, during his descent into the underworld. Crespi's rendition is particularly lauded for its mastery in chiaroscuro and dramatic intensity.

The focal point of the painting is the interaction between Aeneas, characterized by his Roman attire and formidable shield, and the spectral figure of Charon, whose repulsive depiction, accentuated by his ashen complexion and grizzly features, invokes a sense of morbid fascination. Highlighted with a deft use of light and shade, the Sibyl can be seen holding a golden twig, which according to the myth, is the prized offering to appease Charon for passage across Styx, the river of the underworld.

Crespi's painting, held within private collections for many years, has seldom been exhibited publicly. However, it has been critically evaluated and appreciated for its dramatic expressiveness and command over detail, both characteristic of Crespi's versatile style. The artwork is an emphatic testament to Crespi’s proficiency in portraying intricate narratives, marking an important phase in his artistic journey during the Baroque period.
