EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Ovid among the Scythians, 1862" transports viewers to a realm of exile and introspection. Created by an unknown French artist during the era of Romanticism, this oil on paper print showcases the profound emotions associated with Ovid's banishment from Rome. Set against a breathtaking landscape near the Black Sea in Scythia, Ovid stands as a solitary figure amidst a herd of majestic horses. The artist skillfully captures his Christian care for these animals, emphasizing their wild beauty and untamed spirit. The vastness of the sea serves as a reminder of Ovid's longing for freedom and connection to nature. The painting alludes to Ovid's renowned work, "Metamorphoses" which explores themes of transformation and mythology. In this poignant scene, one can sense his yearning for metamorphosis himself – both physically and spiritually – as he grapples with his forced exile. Through exquisite brushstrokes and delicate details, such as the milk being poured into a bowl nearby, Bridgeman Images beautifully preserves this historical masterpiece. This artwork not only encapsulates Ovid's personal journey but also reflects upon larger concepts such as empire and Christianity during that time period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of our own capacity for resilience in times of adversity. It is through art like this that we find solace in shared human experiences across centuries – reminding us that even in exile or banishment, there is always hope for redemption
