EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 18th-century edition of Virgil Georgics takes us back in time to witness the age-old agricultural traditions set down by Virgil himself during Roman times. In this enchanting scene, we find ourselves amidst a picturesque countryside where sheep, cattle, horses, and goats peacefully coexist. In the foreground, two farmers attentively assess a magnificent horse and a sturdy cow. Their experienced eyes carefully examine these animals, perhaps determining their suitability for work or breeding purposes. The farmers' dedication to husbandry is evident as they strive to ensure the well-being and productivity of their livestock. Meanwhile, in the right background, our attention is drawn towards a shepherd who skillfully plays on pan pipes while his faithful companion stands guard over their flock. This harmonious blend of music and pastoral scenery transports us into an idyllic world where man and nature are intricately connected. The exquisite copperplate engraving technique used in this print adds depth and richness to every detail captured within it. It serves as both a visual masterpiece and an invaluable historical document that allows us to appreciate the timeless beauty of agriculture throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Universal Images Group (UIG), let us reflect on the enduring legacy left by Virgil's Georgics - an everlasting tribute to those who have dedicated themselves to nurturing the land and its creatures with unwavering care and devotion.
