Enee Et Anchise with ALPHA channel

Enée et Anchise (Aeneas and Anchises) by Pierre LePautre depicts Aeneas, the Trojan hero son of prince Anchises and goddess Venus, leaving Troy in flames with his father, Trojan Palladium in clutch, on his shoulders. LePautre sculpted the marble, from a wax cast by François Girardon, during his stay in l’Académie de France à Rome in 1697. It was transported to France in 1715, and installed at the Château de Marly, where it was finished with the assistance of Jacques Bousseau in 1716 before being moved to the Tuileries Gardens in 1717, as a matching piece for Lepautre’s Arria et Pætus.
