EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the tomb of the renowned Roman poet Virgil, dating back to 70-19 BC. Located near the enchanting cave of Pozzuoli in Naples, Italy, this historical site holds immense significance for literature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The painting by Joseph Wright Of Derby, created in 1785 and now housed at Belfast's Ulster Museum, beautifully captures the essence of this ancient tomb. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings forth a sense of awe and reverence as viewers are transported back in time. Set against a picturesque backdrop of Campania region's majestic mountains, the tomb stands as a testament to Virgil's enduring legacy. Known for his epic poem "The Aeneid" which narrates the adventures of Aeneas after the fall of Troy, Virgil is considered one of Rome's greatest literary figures. Wright Of Derby skillfully portrays both the grandeur and serenity surrounding this sacred place. The cave nearby adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the composition while emphasizing Virgil's connection with nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Photo Josse, we are reminded not only of Virgil's profound impact on Western literature but also how art can immortalize moments from our past. This print serves as a visual portal that transports us into ancient times where poetry thrived amidst breathtaking landscapes like those found near Naples.
