About the piece
Painted around 1750 by Ottmar Elliger the Younger, this oil on canvas captures the dramatic climax of Dido's story from classical mythology. The work is characterized by its dynamic Rococo energy, featuring a dense arrangement of mourning figures, classical columns, and celestial beings that together create a powerful sense of movement and tragedy.
