EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts the renowned Roman poet, Publius Ovidius Naso, also known as Ovid (43 BC - AD 18). Ovid is celebrated for his remarkable contributions to Latin literature, most notably his narrative poem, "Metamorphoses," which chronicles the mythological transformations of gods and mortals. The image, taken from a 1601 edition of "Metamorphoses," Book II, published in Frankfurt, Germany, showcases Ovid in the prime of his life. He is depicted with a quill in hand, poised to write, reflecting his deep dedication to his craft. The inscription below the image reads "Publius Ovidius Naso," indicating the identity of the subject. The setting for the print is significant, as it places Ovid in the context of the ancient Roman Empire and Republic. The backdrop of the image features the Italian landscape, with the ruins of a Roman temple visible in the distance, symbolizing the rich history and cultural heritage that influenced Ovid's work. The Metamorphoses, which spans fifteen books, is considered one of the most important works of European literature. It has captivated readers for centuries with its intriguing tales of transformation, and continues to inspire artists, writers, and scholars to this day. This print, which is part of the extensive collection of the Episcopal Library in Barcelona, Spain, offers a glimpse into the life and work of a literary giant. Ovid's enduring legacy as a poet and storyteller is evident in the timeless beauty and intrigue of his Metamorphoses.
