EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of Publius Vergilius Maro, a renowned Latin poet from ancient Rome. The portrait showcases Maro wearing a laurel wreath, symbolizing his status as an esteemed literary figure. Known by his more common name Virgil or Vergil, he lived during the 1st century BC in the Augustan period. The detail and craftsmanship of this 18th-century print by Pieter Bodart beautifully highlights Maro's dignified presence. It is part of Henricus Spoors' collection titled "Deorum et Heroum, Virorum et Mulierum Illustrium Imagines Antiquae Illustatae" which translates to "Gods and Heroes, Men and Women Illustrated with Antique Images". This publication was first released in 1707 but gained popularity when it was republished in Amsterdam in 1715. Maro's literary contributions were significant, including works such as the Eclogues, Georgics, and most notably, the epic Aeneid. His writings have left an indelible mark on Western literature and continue to be studied and celebrated today. This antique print serves as a testament to Maro's enduring legacy as one of history's greatest poets. Its timeless elegance transports us back to ancient Rome while reminding us of the lasting impact that great writers can have on our world.
