EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the pastoral scene from Virgil's Georgics, specifically the third eclogue, "Corydon's Lament for Alexis." In this idyllic tableau, the shepherd Corydon pines for his beloved Alexis, who has left him for the god Pan. Surrounded by the verdant beauty of the countryside, Corydon plays his panpipes, a symbol of his rural lifestyle and his longing for his lost love. Published in 29 BC, Virgil's Georgics is an agricultural manual and a collection of pastoral poetry. The work reflects the Roman poet's deep appreciation for the simple pleasures of rural life and the natural world. This scene from the third eclogue is a prime example of Virgil's pastoral style, which would later influence countless poets and artists throughout history. The image of Corydon playing his panpipes among the pines is a timeless one, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a simpler way of life. The ancient Roman landscape, with its rolling hills, clear streams, and towering pines, is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of modern life. The historical significance of this scene, as depicted in one of the most influential works of ancient literature, adds an additional layer of depth and meaning to the image. This photograph print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the ancient world and allowing us to experience the beauty and serenity of Virgil's pastoral vision.
