Descrizione dell’opera

  • 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.
