As troianas queimando seus navios

ca. 1643
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 623
As mulheres troianas cansadas de viajar pelo mundo depois da queda de Tróia, decidiram queimar seus navios. As nuvens e a chuva a distância anunciavam a tempestade enviada por Júpiter, a pedido de Eneias, para apagar o fogo. Lorrain escreveu em seu diário, o Liber Veritatis, que a pintura foi feita em Roma para Girolamo Farnese. O erudito prelado, que retornou a Roma em 1643, deve ter escolhido esse episódio da Eneida de Virgílio (5604–710) como uma alusão a seus anos de serviço viajando como núncio papal, combatendo o calvinismo nos cantões alpinos remotos da Confederação Suíça.
