1st Century Ad Amsterdam Cover Exile Latin Time 1664 Latina Ovidio Pontic Publio Santiago Ortega
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of a book containing several works by Publio Ovidio Nason, including his renowned Sad and Pontic. Published in Amsterdam in 1664, this historical masterpiece takes us back to the 1st century AD when Nason was exiled from Rome. The vertical composition of the photograph emphasizes the gravity and significance of this literary treasure. The worn texture on the cover hints at its age, evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. Publio Ovidio Nason, known simply as Ovid, was one of ancient Rome's most celebrated poets. His exile marked a turning point in his life and career, as he was forced to leave behind his beloved city and face an uncertain future. Through his Latin writings, Ovid captured the essence of human emotions with unparalleled eloquence. Sad and Pontic are among his notable works that delve into themes of sorrow and longing during his time away from home. Santiago Ortega skillfully captures this significant piece of literary history through his lens, preserving it for generations to come. This print serves as a reminder not only of Ovid's enduring legacy but also highlights Amsterdam's role as a hub for intellectual pursuits during the 17th century.
