Eneas going into the Cave, from an Original Drawing of Solimene.
Fran: Solimene inv. e del. Gius Zocchi inv:
1764.
Etching. 255 x 240mm (10 x 9½") with large margins. Uncut.
A scene depicting Aeneas and Dido holding hands as they are about to enter the cave to shelter from the storm conjured by Juno. Perhaps one of the most controversial plot points of the Aeneid, Dido interprets their time spent in the cave as consecration of their marriage, which Aeneas only later attempts to deny as he realises he must leave Carthage and continue his search for a new settlement. Dido, humiliated and believeing her reputation to be irretrievable, kills herself with Aeneas' sword and curses enduring enmity between their peoples, an overt invocation of the Punic Wars.

[Portrait of a middle-aged man in a hooded cloak (priest?).]
[after Guercino?] Guis. Zocchi sc.
[Italian/British, n.d., c.1800.]
Etching printed in brown ink on wove paper, proof?, 260 x 180mm. 10¼ x 7". Some light foxing; wide margins.
An intimate study of an man in profile a religious habit - possibly a monk, priest or penitent - after an old master drawing. Giuseppe Zocchi (1711-1767), draughtsman and etcher in Florence. Perhaps this is one of the series of plates registered in the BM under the title 'Luti collection', after drawings by Julio Romano, Michelangelo, Pietro Cortone, Titiano, Pietro Testa, Guercino, Rembrandt, Paolo Panini, Elsheimer, Benedetto Lutti. As well as by Zocchi, the plates were made by Bartolozzi and Zuccarelli. This seems to be a later impression, perhaps published in Britain.
