1768 Edition Lucretius Portrayed Title Titus Writings Carus
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the title page of a 1768 French edition of the writings of Titus Lucretius Carus, a Roman poet and philosopher who lived in the first century BC. The portrait of Lucretius himself is prominently featured on the title page, giving us a glimpse into what this influential figure may have looked like.
Lucretius is known for his epic poem "De Rerum Natura" (On the Nature of Things), which explores themes such as the nature of reality, atoms, and free will. His work had a significant impact on later philosophers and thinkers, including Renaissance humanists and Enlightenment thinkers.
The intricate design and typography on this title page speak to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into producing books during this time period. The elegant French edition adds an extra layer of sophistication to an already esteemed work.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of Lucretius and his contributions to Western thought. This print serves as both a visual delight and a window into intellectual history, inviting us to ponder the ideas that have shaped our world for centuries.
