Augustus schließt den Tempel des Janus is a 1757 oil by Louis de Silvestre, a Rococo painting work, depicting Aeneas, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
This painting shows a scene from ancient times. There are many people, some in classical robes, others in armor. In the center, a man in a red robe stands on steps, looking at another man in a yellow robe who sits on a rock. The background has columns and a tall obelisk. The colors are rich, with golds, blues, and reds. The figures are arranged in a dynamic way, with some looking at each other and others looking away.
