JMW Turner The Golden Bough mug. Oil on canvas from 1834. English painter JMW Turner was renowned for his vivid landscape paintings during his life, but also created some stunning mythological works. The Golden Bough depicts a scene from Virgil’s Aeneid in which Aeneas consults a Sibyl in order to enter the Underworld. The painting shows the Sibyl holding a sickle and the golden bough needed to enter the land of the dead. The fates dance in a circle in the background while a beautiful landscapes unfolds towards the world beyond. A pretty gift for fans of JMW Turner, Mythology paintings, The Aeneid, and English art.
