Virgil: Aeneid
by SANVITO, Bartolomeo, Manuscript (Kings Ms. 24)
This manuscript of Virgil’s Aeneid was written in Rome by Bartolomeo Sanvito, probably for Lodovico Agneli, bishop of Cosenza 1497-99. The miniatures were very probably painted by Sanvito himself.
The miniatures on folio 23v, shown here, depicts the Trojan horse and Aeneas carrying his father Anchises into exile.
