Abstract
In 2020 the Museo del Prado lifted the deposit it held on the painting Aeneas tells Dido the Misfortunes of Troy, by the French painter Pierre-Narcisse Guérin. The work had arrived in Tenerife in 1911 to decorate the recently inaugurated municipal building of La Orotava, where it remained for more than a hundred years with periods of neglect, and did not regain its splendour until now. Today it hangs in one of its rooms, within the International Neoclassicism. This article tells the story of its journey to Tenerife and its importance in the artist’s work.
