EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite engraving, titled "Comedies" and dated 1759, showcases the timeless works of the legendary Roman playwright, Titus Maccius Plautus. Born in the second century BC in the ancient city of Urso in present-day Italy, Plautus is considered one of the founding figures of Latin literature and the father of Roman comedy. His plays, which were heavily influenced by Greek models, brought laughter and entertainment to the Roman masses. The engraving, produced in Paris during the 18th century, is a stunning visual representation of Plautus's comedic masterpieces. The image features the author himself, dressed in the attire of the ancient Roman world, holding a scroll bearing the title of one of his most famous works. Surrounding him are various scenes from his comedies, each vividly illustrated in rich, vibrant colors. Plautus's comedies, which often dealt with themes of love, deception, and social satire, were a significant influence on Western literature and continue to be performed and studied to this day. This elegant engraving serves as a testament to the enduring appeal and importance of Plautus's works in the history of literature. The engraving is a valuable addition to any collection of classical literature or ancient history. It would be an excellent addition to a university library, research institution, or personal study. Its intricate details and beautiful colors make it a captivating piece of art, as well as a valuable historical artifact. The engraving is a reminder of the rich literary heritage that we have inherited from the ancient world and the enduring influence of Plautus's comedies on Western culture.
