The Trojans Building the Temple to Venus and Making Offerings at Anchises's Grave in Sicily

Italienische Malerei 1515–1530, circa 1520

This painting shows a landscape with castle-like structures on a green hill, with a group of people gathering in colorful clothing in the bottom left. The people are indistinct, painted in shades of red, brown, and blue, with no visible facial features. Two objects appear in the center of the groups of people: a low cream-colored object and a square brown object. One of the large buildings to the right of center appears to be under construction. Green trees are scattered across the ground and hills. Some of the green, building-lined hills on the left are separated from the rest of the land by strips of blue, as if they are surrounded by mist, or float in the sky.
