EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite frontispiece of Horace Quinti Horatii Flacci Opera, a renowned literary work by the ancient Roman poet Horace. Created in 1642, this engraving is considered to be in its first state and measures approximately 13 7/8 x 9 inches (35.2 x 22.9 cm). The artist behind this remarkable piece is Claude Mellan, a talented French engraver born in Abbeville in 1598 and passed away in Paris in 1688. Mellan's exceptional skills are evident through his meticulous attention to detail and masterful execution of each stroke. Inspired by Nicolas Poussin, another esteemed French painter from Les Andelys who lived between 1594 and 1665, Mellan beautifully captures the essence of Horace's opera with his artistic interpretation. The composition transports viewers to ancient Rome, where they can almost feel the poetic words come alive. This print allows art enthusiasts and admirers of classical literature to appreciate both the historical significance of Horace's work as well as the talent displayed by these two influential French artists. It serves as a testament to their lasting impact on European art history.
