Federico da Montefeltro had a Virgil commissioned for him in the late 1460s (I think). Two artists worked on this book now in the Vatican Library; I believe Girolamo Giraldi did the full page miniature of the "fleeing scene". It is illustrated with other books, including illuminated Virgils, in the Morgan Library/Royal Academy exh. cat. "The Painted Page," from 1994. The main editor of the cat. was Jonathan J.G. Alexander. This is the most useful reference for Renaissance miniatures and illuminations.
Hope this helps.

I know of Raphael's "Fire in the Borgo," Barocci's "Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanius Fleeing Troy," and Gian Lorenzo Bernini's "Aeneas and Anchises." Are there others? I'd like to know.
