Dercette e Nais trasformati in pesci, Metamorfosi di Ovidio, acquaforte del 1676

30,00 

Questa splendida incisione del 1676 proviene dalla prestigiosa edizione delle “Métamorphoses d’Ovide en rondeaux” Of Isaac de Benserade, un’opera di grande raffinatezza, commissionata da Luigi XIV per l’educazione del Delfino di Francia.

Descrizione dell’opera

  • Titolo: Stampa tratta da Les Métamorphoses d’Ovide en rondeaux

  • Author: Isaac de Benserade (testo), Le Clerc, Chauveau e Le Brun (incisioni)

  • Publisher: De l’Imprimerie Royale, Parigi, 1676

  • Technique: Acquaforte su carta vergellata (testo al verso)

  • Dimensions:

    • Incisione: cm 7,5 × 9 (alla battuta del rame)

    • Foglio: cm 27 × 20

Importanza storica e artistica

L’opera di Benserade è una delle più celebri reinterpretazioni seicentesche delle Ovid's Metamorphoses. La particolarità di questa edizione è il suo approccio didattico ed estetico: ogni mito è presentato attraverso una citazione in latino, una riscrittura in versi (i rondeaux, tipici componimenti poetici francesi) e un’incisione su rame che illustra la scena.

Le incisioni furono realizzate da tre importanti artisti dell’epoca:

  • Sébastien Le Clerc (1637-1714), incisore di corte del Re Sole

  • François Chauveau (1613-1676), celebre illustratore parigino

  • Charles Le Brun (1619-1690), pittore ufficiale di Luigi XIV

Questa stampa rappresenta un esempio straordinario di arte barocca, caratterizzata da un tratto preciso e dettagliato, che enfatizza la drammaticità e il dinamismo delle scene mitologiche.

Valore collezionistico

L’opera, stampata presso l’Imprimerie Royale, è una testimonianza del lusso e della raffinatezza della cultura francese sotto Luigi XIV. Le incisioni, realizzate con grande maestria, sono oggi oggetti di culto tra i collezionisti di ancient books, incisioni del XVII secolo And iconografia mitologica.

Un pezzo di altissimo valore storico e artistico, espressione della grande tradizione incisoria francese e dell’interesse del Re Sole per l’arte e la letteratura classica.
