"Aeneas and Anchises" is a Baroque painting by the Italian artist Lionello Spada, a follower of the Caravaggisti movement, which was inspired by the dramatic chiaroscuro and naturalism of Caravaggio. The painting depicts a scene from Virgil's epic poem the "Aeneid," where the Trojan hero Aeneas carries his father Anchises on his shoulders as they flee the burning city of Troy. This subject is a popular one in art, symbolizing filial piety and the transmission of culture and civilization from one generation to the next.

Lionello Spada (1576–1622) was known for his dynamic compositions and skillful use of light and shadow, which are evident in this work. The painting showcases Spada's ability to convey intense emotion and movement, as well as his masterful rendering of the human form. The figures of Aeneas and Anchises are often portrayed in a moment of great urgency and drama, with the elder Anchises bearing the household gods, signifying the continuity of their lineage and the founding of a new Troy, which would eventually lead to the establishment of Rome.

The exact date of creation for "Aeneas and Anchises" by Lionello Spada is not well-documented, and the painting's provenance and current location may not be widely known, which can sometimes be the case with works from this period. However, the painting remains an important example of Spada's artistic legacy and the enduring influence of Caravaggio on his contemporaries. It contributes to the visual interpretation of classical literature and the cultural ideals of the Baroque era, reflecting themes of heroism, duty, and the human condition that were central to the period's artistic expression.
