介绍（中）	Pierre Didot l’ainé在革命后的几年里复兴精品图书出版艺术的项目为大卫的一些学生提供了可喜的收入。法国新古典主义书籍插图的一些最伟大的例子是这些雄心勃勃的事业的结果，最著名的是1798年版《维吉尔》的设计，基于吉罗代和弗朗索瓦·热拉尔提供的图纸这幅为《埃涅阿斯纪》第十一卷绘制的图画描绘了埃涅阿斯和尤利乌斯哀悼在战斗中被鲁蒂利亚国王图努斯杀害的帕拉斯。曾为Pallas的父亲Evander服务的年迈的Acoetës为尸体感到悲痛，而Aeneas则在前景中安慰他的儿子Iulus。图片下方用拉丁语刻着埃涅阿斯的哀歌，"唉！你失去了多么伟大的保护，Ausonia[意大利]，你失去了多大的保护，Iulus！" 为了回应书籍插图的限制格式，吉罗代将维吉尔的角色阵容减少到了四个，代表年轻、成熟、老年和死亡。帕拉斯的尸体沐浴在空灵的月光下，吉罗代对这种效果情有独钟。
介绍（英）	Pierre Didot l'ainé's project to revive the art of fine book publishing in the years following the Revolution provided welcome income for a number of David's students. Some of the greatest examples of French Neoclassical book illustration were the result of these ambitious undertakings, most notably the designs for the 1798 edition of Virgil, based on drawings supplied by Girodet and François Gérard. This drawing for Book Eleven of The Aeneid features Aeneas and Iulus mourning Pallas, who had been killed in battle by the Rutilian king Turnus. The elderly Acoetës, who had once served Pallas' father Evander, grieves over the dead body, while Aeneas comforts his son Iulus in the foreground. Inscribed below the image, in Latin, is Aeneas' lament, "Alas! How great a protection is lost to thee, Ausonia [Italy], and what a loss to thee, Iulus!" Responding to the restricted format of book illustration, Girodet reduced Virgil's cast of characters to four, standing for youth, maturity, old age, and death. Pallas' corpse is bathed in ethereal moonlight--an effect for which Girodet had a life-long affection.
