EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Portrait of Virgil (bronze)" by Antoine Augustin Preault, a renowned French sculptor from the 19th century. Housed in the prestigious Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France, this bronze sculpture pays homage to Virgile, a prominent Roman poet and writer who lived between 70-19 BC. Preault's attention to detail is evident in this masterful artwork. The delicately carved features capture the essence of Virgil's intellect and creativity, making it an exceptional representation of his literary genius. The gilt bronze material adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the piece. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back to ancient Rome, where poetry flourished and intellectual pursuits were highly valued. It serves as a reminder of Virgil's significant contributions to literature and his enduring influence on subsequent generations of writers. Kim Young Tae skillfully captures every nuance of this remarkable sculpture through his lens. His photography allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind Preault's work but also its historical significance within the context of ancient Rome. This print is a testament to both artistic excellence and archaeological preservation. It invites us into an enchanting world where words come alive through stone and metal—a world where poets like Virgil continue to inspire us with their timeless verses.
