"Journey through Time: Exploring the Riches of Ancient and Classical Literatures" Step into the world of ancient civilizations as we delve into the captivating tales depicted on this Red-figure pottery Krater from Civita Castellana, Italy. The intricate details transport us to a time when art was used to narrate stories that have stood the test of time. In another corner, Ms 320 Fol. 197r reveals celestial wonders with its depiction of a lunar eclipse and movements of planets. This manuscript reminds us that even in ancient times, people were fascinated by the mysteries of our universe. Moving forward in history, we encounter Daphne and Chloe, an enchanting story captured beautifully in Montfort l'Amaury's artwork from 1913. It serves as a testament to how classical literature continues to inspire artists across different eras. Luigi Basiletti's painting takes us back to Butrinto where Aeneas meets Andromache in 1811. Through his brushstrokes, he brings alive Virgil's epic tale and highlights the enduring power of storytelling. Socrates engages in philosophical debates with his followers in Turkey, as depicted in an Arab manuscript. This glimpse into their intellectual discussions reminds us that ancient thinkers laid the foundation for modern philosophy. The relief showcasing a theatre scene from Publius Terentius Afer's comedy Andria offers a glimpse into Roman entertainment culture while highlighting their love for theatrical performances filled with humor and wit. A page from Mhxanika takes us back further still – published in Paris during 1566; it is a reproduction of Aristotle's Greek manuscript. This work exemplifies how ancient scholars' wisdom has been preserved throughout centuries for future generations to learn from. Ms 320 Fol. 197 presents comets while Fol. 192r showcases planets - both illustrations derived from Thomas van Cantimpre’s De Natura rerum (1201-72).
