$a The works of Virgil and other epic, dramatic and narrative texts were held in the Academicians's library as providing subjects suitable for historical painting. Virgil has always stimulated visual artists - from ancient manuscript-illuminators to 19th- and 20th-century book-illustrators such as Blake, Palmer, Dunoyer de Segonzac and Maillol. 'Faithful' representation of literary narrative has raised many questions - touched on by J. Spence in his Polymetis and by Lessing in his Laocoon. The plates of this edition show ancient gems and other antiquities illustrating episodes in the poet's text. |
