EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Gil Vicente, a Portuguese playwright and poet, born in 1465 and passed away in 1537. Considered the chief dramatist of Portugal, Vicente's works left an indelible mark on the Portuguese literary scene. One of his most renowned pieces is the "Auto da Barca do Purgatório" or "Act of the Ship of Purgatory," written in 1518. The facsimile edition of this engraving, dated from the 16th century France, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Vicente's work. The image shows the title of the play, "Auto da Barca do Purgatório," and the image of a ship, symbolizing the journey of the soul through purgatory. Vicente's works were deeply influenced by the cultural exchange between Europe and the New World, and his poetic and theatrical pieces often dealt with themes of morality, religion, and the human condition. His contributions to Portuguese literature were significant, and his influence can still be felt in the works of contemporary Portuguese writers. This print, held in the National Library of France, is a valuable piece of cultural heritage that offers a glimpse into the rich literary history of Portugal and Europe during the Renaissance period. The intricate engraving style adds to the visual appeal of the print, making it a must-have for any collection focused on European literature, theater, or art.
