About the piece
Painted in 1834, J.M.W. Turner's 'The Golden Bough' is a masterful example of the artist's ability to blend classical mythology with transcendent atmosphere. The scene depicts a moment from Virgil’s Aeneid, set within a sweeping Italianate landscape where Lake Avernus glows beneath a misty sky, framed by the dark, elegant silhouette of a stone pine.
