EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the legendary Roman poet, Publius Vergilius Maro, better known as Virgil, as he pens the epic poem, Aeneid. The first-century BC poet is shown in deep concentration, quill in hand, as he brings to life the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero who journeyed from the ruins of Troy to Italy and became the ancestor of the Roman people. The Aeneid, an epic poem of over 12,000 lines, is considered one of the greatest works of Latin literature and a cornerstone of Western literature. The image, created in 1729, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Virgil and his masterpiece. The poem's rich mythology and historical significance continue to captivate readers and scholars alike, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the classical world. With its intricate details and graceful lines, this engraving is a beautiful representation of the poet in the act of creating a timeless work of art.
