"Apotheose of Aeneas (detail) 1651-54" is a significant fresco by the Italian Baroque painter Pietro da Cortona, whose full name was Pietro Berrettini. This artwork is part of a larger series of frescoes that adorn the ceiling of the prestigious Palazzo Pamphilj on the Piazza Navona in Rome, Italy. The fresco series is collectively known as "The Divine History and the Profane History," and it was commissioned by Cardinal Camillo Pamphilj, a member of the influential Pamphilj family and the nephew of Pope Innocent X.

The "Apotheose of Aeneas" is a celebration of the legendary Trojan hero Aeneas, a figure of Roman mythology who is said to have journeyed from Troy to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Roman people. The fresco captures the moment of Aeneas's apotheosis, his transformation into a god and ascent to the heavens, a theme that resonates with the ideals of heroism, divine favor, and the glorification of lineage, all of which were pertinent to the self-image of the Pamphilj family.

Pietro da Cortona, renowned for his dynamic compositions and mastery of illusionistic ceiling painting, created a work that is both a masterpiece of Baroque art and a reflection of the political and cultural ambitions of his patrons. The fresco is characterized by its dramatic use of perspective, vigorous figures, and a rich palette that enhances the sense of movement and grandeur. The "Apotheose of Aeneas" is a prime example of da Cortona's ability to merge architecture, painting, and narrative into a cohesive and awe-inspiring visual experience.

Completed between 1651 and 1654, this fresco is a testament to da Cortona's artistic prowess and his significant contribution to the Baroque period. It remains an important cultural artifact, not only for its artistic value but also for its historical significance as a symbol of the power and aspirations of one of Rome's most prominent families during the 17th century.
