EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century print depicts the renowned Roman poet, Publius Ovidius Naso, better known as Ovid. Born in 43 BC in Sulmo, Italy, Ovid is considered one of the greatest poets in the Latin literary canon. He wrote in various genres, including elegies, epistles, and metamorphoses. However, it is for his magnum opus, "Metamorphoses," that Ovid is most celebrated. This epic poem, composed of fifteen books, tells the mythological stories of transformations, and is a testament to Ovid's mastery of language and storytelling. The Metamorphoses was first published in 8 AD, and its influence on European literature is immeasurable. This print, from a 1601 Frankfurt edition, captures the poet in the prime of his life, with a quill in hand and a scroll at his feet, symbolizing his dedication to his craft. The intricate detail and the use of chiaroscuro in the print add to its timeless beauty, making it a treasure for any collection of classical literature or art.
