EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print depicts Quintus Horatius Flaccus, better known as Horace, the renowned Roman lyric poet. Born in Venusia, Italy, around 65 BC, Horace lived during the late Roman Republic and the early Roman Empire. He is considered one of the greatest poets in the Latin language and is known for his three books of Odes, as well as his Satires, Epodes, and Epistles. Horace's works were highly influential in the development of Latin literature and continue to be studied and admired for their beauty, wit, and insight into ancient Roman life. This print, which is housed in the Episcopal Library in Barcelona, Spain, is a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable poet. The image of Horace is set against a backdrop of imperial Rome, with the Colosseum and other ancient ruins visible in the background. The poet is depicted in the traditional toga, holding a scroll and quill pen, symbolizing his status as a scholar and writer. The numerals "65 BC - 8 BC" are inscribed below, reminding us of the poet's birth and death dates. This print, published in Venice in 1727, is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the world of ancient Rome and the literary achievements of one of its most celebrated figures. Horace's works continue to inspire and captivate readers, and this print serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that has been passed down through the centuries.
