EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print showcases the renowned Roman poet Virgil, known as Publius Vergilius Maro in Latin. Created from an edition of his epic masterpiece "The Aeneid" published in 1532 at Venice, this artwork offers a glimpse into the ancient world and the Iron Age. Virgil, who lived during the first century BC, is depicted here with great detail and skill. The artist has captured his likeness with precision, emphasizing his contemplative expression and wise demeanor. As one of Rome's most celebrated writers, Virgil's contributions to literature are immeasurable. In this portrait, we see Virgil holding a woodwind instrument called a piper or pipe. This musical element adds depth to our understanding of him as not only a writer but also someone who appreciated and perhaps even composed music. It hints at the multifaceted nature of this literary genius. The setting for this woodcut is Venice - a city known for its rich cultural heritage - which further enhances the historical significance of this artwork. The intricate details within the print highlight both artistic mastery and craftsmanship prevalent during that time period. This stunning piece from Granger Art on Demand allows us to connect with history by bringing together elements such as literature, artistry, music, and ancient civilization through one striking image.
