EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the ancient world of Greek mythology and literature. The image depicts Homeres genie, the genius of Homer himself, holding his two most famous works, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Led by heroic poesy, he is being introduced to the temple of memory despite the efforts of Envy. As Homeres genie approaches the temple doors, he is accompanied by Renommee, a symbol of fame and renown that flies before him. Time also joins them on this momentous occasion as it prepares to place medals honoring this illustrious poet at the frontispiece of the temple. The allegory beautifully captures not only Homer's literary prowess but also highlights his enduring legacy in Western civilization. It reminds us that even though envy may try to hinder greatness, true talent will always find its way into history's collective memory. This French edition from 1751 serves as a testament to how far-reaching Homer's influence was during that time period. The intricate engravings showcase scenes from his epic poems while paying homage to classical antiquity. Giancarlo Costa masterfully brings together elements of mythology, literature, and artistry in this print. It serves as a visual reminder of Homer's lasting impact on our cultural heritage and invites us to delve deeper into his timeless tales.
