"Aeneas Fleeing Burning Troy with Anchises and Ascanius" is a notable oil painting by Flemish artist Kerstiaen de Keuninck the Elder, also known as Christiaen de Keuninck or Kestiaen de Keuninck (1560–1632/1633). The work is an artistic interpretation of a pivotal scene from Virgil's epic poem, the "Aeneid," which narrates the legendary tale of Aeneas, a Trojan hero and the mythological ancestor of the Romans.

In this dramatic composition, De Keuninck captures the moment when Aeneas carries his elderly father, Anchises, on his back, while leading his son Ascanius by the hand, as they escape the catastrophic destruction of Troy. The scene is set against the backdrop of the city engulfed in flames, underscoring the chaos and tragedy of the fall of Troy. The painting is imbued with the pathos of the human condition, highlighting themes of duty, family, and resilience in the face of disaster.

Kerstiaen de Keuninck the Elder was known for his landscape and history paintings, often characterized by their meticulous detail and dramatic use of light and shadow. "Aeneas Fleeing Burning Troy with Anchises and Ascanius" exemplifies De Keuninck's skill in blending narrative elements with the natural environment, creating a vivid and emotionally charged tableau.

The painting is an important example of Northern Mannerism, a style that emerged in the late 16th and early 17th centuries in the Low Countries and Northern Europe. This style is marked by elongated figures, complex compositions, and often, an emphasis on the fantastical or allegorical content. De Keuninck's work contributes to the understanding of this artistic period and offers insight into the cultural exchange between the Italian Renaissance and Northern European art.

While the exact date of creation for "Aeneas Fleeing Burning Troy with Anchises and Ascanius" is not documented, it is generally attributed to the late 16th or early 17th century, consistent with the artist's active period. The painting remains a significant piece in the oeuvre of Kerstiaen de Keuninck the Elder and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
