EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration for Book 15 of Ovid's Metamorphoses, created by an unknown artist in the 17th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and depicts scenes from ancient Roman civilization, evoking a sense of enchantment and nostalgia. Ovidius, also known as Ovide or Publius Ovidius Naso, was a renowned Roman poet who composed this epic narrative poem during the reign of Augustus. His work explores various mythological tales and transformations, offering profound insights into human nature and the complexities of life. The intricate engravings in this illustration beautifully capture the essence of Ovid's storytelling prowess. Each detail intricately crafted by Thomas Farnaby (Farnabia), noted scholar and commentator on classical literature from the 16th to 17th centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to ancient Rome, where gods mingled with mortals and mythical creatures roamed freely. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature in preserving history and culture. Giancarlo Costa skillfully captures this mesmerizing artwork through his lens while respecting copyright laws. Through his photography, he allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the significance of these historical illustrations. This print is more than just an image; it is a window into another world – one filled with imagination, wisdom, and artistic brilliance that has stood the test of time.
