Raphael's Aeneas
Here Raphael is using the same scene from the poem with a completely different approach. This highlights the Renaissance's focus on the classical era.
Venus Presenting Arms to Aeneas
While taken from a different scene, this painting by Nicolas Poussin shows the desire to portray the classical era, even in France during the Renaissance.

Dido and Aeneas
This painting, by Rutilio Manetti, is yet another depiction of Aeneas, this time interacting with Dido. It is a perfect example of how Renaissance artists took Classicism and shaped it to their own era.
