"Dido", a commissioned illustration of the legendary founder and queen of Carthage. I enjoyed researching artifacts and styles from Phoenician culture - lots of Greek, Syrian, Egyptian and other influences.
Also note the reference to the Trojan war in the wall paintings! #mastoart #history
Painting of Dido, the legendary Queen of Carthage. She is depicted full length, stepping towards us, in a regal manner, inside a pillared building. The columns and walls are brightly painted with figures, ornaments and ships. Behind her the building is open, showing the sky and a blue sea. A few servants stand at the sides.
