EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite manuscript of Virgil's Eclogues, Georgics, and Aeneid, created in Rome and Florence during the 1460s. The artwork, executed with pen & ink and tempera on vellum by the Italian School of the 15th century, measures approximately 18.5x19.2 cm. Held in a private collection, this rare piece offers a glimpse into the literary world of Virgil (70-19 BC). The image reveals an enchanting scene within the manuscript's pages; vibrant floral borders frame meticulously detailed illustrations depicting various aspects of classical life. From ploughmen to farm animals such as oxen hitched together for transportation or agricultural work, every element is intricately rendered. The script itself is a testament to skilled calligraphy and medieval craftsmanship. Majuscule letters adorn each page while historiated initials add further visual interest. With its bright colors and inhabited landscapes, this Renaissance-era masterpiece brings Virgil's timeless words to life. It serves as both a historical artifact showcasing farming practices from ancient times and a testament to artistic excellence. As we marvel at this remarkable print captured by Christie's Images, it reminds us of the enduring power of literature and art to transport us across time and immerse ourselves in different worlds - whether they be ancient Roman landscapes or bustling Florentine streets.
