1. Introduction of Dido Statue
Dido (also known as Elissa) was the legendary founder and queen of Carthage, whose story became widely known through Virgil’s epic poem, the Aeneid. According to the epic, the Trojan hero Aeneas, during his wanderings, arrived in Carthage and was received by Dido, with whom he gradually developed feelings for her. However, Aeneas was burdened with a mission to establish a new home in Italy and ultimately left in accordance with divine will. Dido, devastated by his departure, ended her life with her sword on a cremation platform built for Aeneas’s remains. This marble Dido Statue depicts this dramatic moment of “The Death of Dido.”
The female figure in the Dido Statue kneels on a complex pedestal, her upper body bare, her heavy robes cascading from her shoulders to her waist, forming layers of folds. She grips a long sword horizontally in one hand, her body twisted to one side, her head noticeably tilted back, her lips slightly parted, her face bearing an expression of pain and tension. The pile of fabrics, utensils and other objects at his feet echoes the story of Dido setting up the cremation platform before his death. Arturban Sculpture can customize various female sculpture.
