EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning colour lithograph print by Jean de Bosschere captures a moment of intense emotion and drama from The Love Books of Ovid. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring to life the words of Ovid as he describes the passion, love, and violence within his poems.
The central figure in the print appears to be a warrior or hero who is proudly displaying his conquests, symbolized by the number of throats he has cut. This juxtaposition of love and violence creates a powerful image that leaves viewers captivated and intrigued.
Bosschere's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, drawing attention to the figure's expression and posture. The overall composition is balanced and harmonious, with every element contributing to the overall narrative.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era where love was intertwined with danger and desire. It serves as a reminder that passion can be both beautiful and destructive, echoing the themes found throughout Ovid's timeless poems.
This print is not just a visual representation of Ovid's work; it is a window into a world filled with complex emotions, vivid imagery, and eternal truths about human nature.
