EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of Ovid, the renowned Roman poet who lived during the 1st century BC. Created in 1830 by an unknown artist, this engraving is part of "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard. Ovid, also known as Publius Ovidius Naso, was a contemporary of famous Latin writers Virgil and Horace and is best remembered for his epic work "Metamorphoses". The image captures the profile of a distinguished man with a laurel wreath adorning his head, symbolizing his literary achievements. Ovid's piercing gaze reflects both wisdom and resilience, hinting at the challenges he faced throughout his life. The engraving transports us back to ancient Rome when Augustus Caesar ruled over the vast empire. Despite being exiled by Emperor Augustus to the Black Sea region (modern-day Romania), Ovid's influence on literature remains unparalleled. His works continue to inspire generations with their exploration of mythology and transformation. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of classical antiquity, this print not only pays homage to one of history's greatest poets but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of art across centuries. It invites viewers into an era where words held immense power and creativity flourished amidst political turmoil. Preserved through time, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into the life and legacy of Ovid - an enigmatic figure whose poetic brilliance continues to captivate readers worldwide.
