EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Cassandra bound, page 44 from Virgil's Aeneid" transports viewers into the mythical world of ancient Rome. Created by the talented artist William Morris in the 19th century, this exquisite piece showcases his mastery of arts and crafts on vellum. Measuring at a modest size of 14.3x13.5 cm, this neo-gothic masterpiece is adorned with ornate floral patterns and an intricate initial that draws attention to its burning manuscript. The tragic tale unfolds as Cassandra, a mythological figure known for her prophetic abilities, finds herself bound within the pages of Virgil's epic poem. Morris skillfully combines elements of gothic revival and classical influences to create a visually stunning composition. The delicate calligraphy intertwines with trojan-inspired patterns, adding depth and richness to the artwork. The Victorian era aesthetic is evident through the use of decorative motifs and historiated illustrations that depict nudity amidst flames. This juxtaposition between beauty and tragedy captures both the essence of Morris' artistic style as well as the underlying themes found within Virgil's Aeneid. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history - a testament to both Morris' talent as an artist and his deep appreciation for mythology.
