"Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanius Fleeing Troy" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Mattia Preti, created in the 1630s. The artwork depicts a dramatic scene from Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid, where the Trojan hero Aeneas carries his elderly father Anchises on his back, while his young son Ascanius walks beside them, as they escape the burning city of Troy. This subject is a popular theme in classical art, symbolizing piety and familial duty, and has been interpreted by numerous artists throughout history.

Mattia Preti, also known as Il Cavalier Calabrese (The Knight of Calabria), was an accomplished painter and a follower of Caravaggio, known for his use of dramatic lighting and dynamic compositions. In this work, Preti showcases his mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey intense emotion and movement. The painting is characterized by its vivid portrayal of the figures against the backdrop of the chaotic destruction of Troy, with the use of rich, contrasting colors and dynamic brushwork that adds to the sense of urgency and desperation of the escape.

The painting is a significant example of Preti's mature style, which combines the realism and naturalism of Caravaggio with his own distinctive approach to narrative and decoration. "Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanius Fleeing Troy" not only reflects Preti's technical skill but also his capacity to engage with classical themes and to infuse them with a Baroque sensibility, making the ancient story resonate with contemporary audiences.
