Morison, Colin (1732-1810)
Andromache Offering Sacrifice to Hector's Shade. Ca. 1760. In the course of his travels Aeneas arrives at the hill city of Buthrotum, ruled by Helenus, brother of the slain Trojan hero, Hector, and now husband of Hector's widow, Andromache. In a wooded grove near the city, Aeneas meets Andromache, who is offering a libation to Hector's ashes and calling upon his spirit. As Aeneas approaches, Andromache is shocked to see him in the armour and headdress of a Trojan warrior and asks whether he is a living being or a ghost. Oil on canvas, 615 x 760 mm. Purchased 1991 (T05872).
