medievalpoc: Liberale da Verona Dido’s Suicide Italy (c. 1510) Oil on Poplar, 42.5 x 123.2 cm The National Gallery, London. Dido, having been abandoned by Aeneas, commits suicide on a pyre composed of his armour and his gifts to her, in her palace in Carthage. This painting was probably a panel from a cassone, a type of heavily decorated marriage chest. This is usually accepted as a work by Liberale da Verona.
