On Death Part Two, Opus XIII Print 4: Genius (Artist) is a 1903 by Max Klinger, depicting aeneas, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows three figures in a forest. A tall, robed woman with one arm raised stands on the right, her face calm. Behind her, a man in a long cloak holds her arm, looking down. To their left, a hunched figure in tattered clothes walks away, head bowed. Trees loom around them, their trunks thick and dark. The woman’s flowing robes and the man’s serious grip suggest a moment of weight. The hunched figure adds a sense of loneliness. Look up Aeneas next to see how this scene might connect to ancient stories.
