Publius Ovidius Naso, commonly known as Ovid, was a renowned Roman poet who lived during the Silver Age. His works have left an indelible mark on art and literature throughout history. In Lucas Cranach the Elder's painting "The Silver Age, " we catch a glimpse of this influential period. Ovid's masterpiece, "Metamorphoses, " inspired countless artists to bring his stories to life. Randolph Rogers' sculpture "The Lost Pleiade" captures the tragic tale of seven sisters transformed into stars. Meanwhile, in Claude Lorrain's painting "Coast View with Perseus and the Origin of Coral, " we witness another metamorphosis unfold before our eyes. Theseus and the Minotaur is one of Ovid's most famous myths, depicted in various artworks like Sebastien Bourdon's captivating piece. The hero triumphs over the fearsome creature within a labyrinthine maze—a testament to Ovid's ability to captivate audiences through storytelling. In Aeneas made immortal by Venus, we see how love can transcend mortality itself. This second-half 17th-century oil painting portrays Venus granting immortality upon her son Aeneas—yet another example of Ovid exploring themes such as transformation and divine intervention. Aesculapius, engraved in Metamorphoses by Ovid, showcases his skillful use of words to depict vivid imagery. The story comes alive through intricate engravings that breathe life into ancient tales. But it seems revenge also played its part in some narratives from Metamorphoses—as seen in an intriguing copper engraving aptly titled "Ovid’s Revenge. " It reminds us that even great poets may seek retribution when wronged. Vertumnus and Pomona tell us yet another fascinating story from Ovid’s repertoire: Vertumnus transforming himself into a pruner to win over Pomona’s heart.
