Image description

The subject of the painting comes from Aelius Donatus’s 4th century AD Life of Virgil, which is thought to have been based on an earlier Vita of the poet by the historian Suetonius. In book six of the Aeneid, Aeneas descends to the underworld and there encounters the shade of Marcellus, the murdered nephew of the Emperor Augustus. When Virgil was summoned by the Emperor Augustus to read to the Emperor’s family from this new work and he uttered the line ‘Tu Marcellus eris’ as Aeneas meets the spirit, Octavia, Marcellus’s mother, is said to have fainted.
