The Trojan Women Setting Fire to Their Fleet by Claude Lorrain in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2007
The Trojan Women Setting Fire to Their Fleet
Artist: Claude Lorrain (Claude Gellée) (French, Chamagne 1604/5?–1682 Rome)
Date: ca. 1643
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 41 3/8 x 59 7/8 in. (105.1 x 152.1 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Fletcher Fund, 1955
Accession Number: 55.119
In an effort to end years of wandering after the fall of Troy, the Trojan women set fire to their ships. The clouds and rain in the distance presage the storm sent by Jupiter at Aeneas’s request to quench the blaze. This painting was made in Rome for cardinal Girolamo Farnese. The subject, drawn from Virgil’s Aeneid (V:604–95), must have especially appealed to the learned prelate who returned to Rome in 1643, after years of itinerant service as papal nuncio combating Calvinism in remote Alpine cantons of the Swiss Confederation.
