EDITORS COMMENTS
Plautus (254-184 BC): Latin Comedy Poet, "Comedies" - This print depicts the renowned Roman playwright, Publius Terentius Afer, better known as Plautus. Born in northern Africa, Plautus is considered one of the greatest figures in the history of Latin literature and the father of Latin comedy. His works, which include over twenty plays, were instrumental in shaping the genre and influencing European theater for centuries to come. This beautiful print, housed in the Biblioteca de Catalunya (National Library of Catalonia) in Barcelona, Spain, is an edition from the year 1518. The image, rich in cultural significance, showcases Plautus in an elegant, upright pose, wearing the attire of a scholar or philosopher. The color palette is vibrant and scenic, reflecting the richness and depth of the classical world. Plautus' comedies were a fusion of Greek and Roman elements, often featuring stock characters, farcical situations, and clever wordplay. His plays were performed on the theatrical stages of ancient Rome and were a source of entertainment for the masses. This print serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Plautus' works on Western theater and culture. The Biblioteca de Catalunya, located in the heart of Barcelona, is a treasure trove of historical, cultural, and artistic treasures. Its extensive collection includes rare and valuable documents, manuscripts, and prints, making it a must-visit destination for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of Spain and beyond. This vertical print, with its stunning color and intricate detail, is a reminder of the power of literature to transport us to another time and place. Whether you're a student of history, literature, or theater, this print is sure to inspire and delight.
