EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of the renowned comic author Plautus, also known as Titus Maccius Plautus. Created through xylography by Hartmann Schedel in 1497, this artwork is a part of "Chronicles of Nuremberg". The intricate details and delicate lines bring to life the essence of this ancient literary figure. Plautus, who lived between 259/251-184 BC, was a prominent writer during the Roman era. His comedic plays were highly popular and influential in shaping the genre. This portrait captures his intellectual prowess and wit, with an air of wisdom emanating from his eyes. The artist's skillful engraving technique adds depth to every contour on Plautus' face, emphasizing his character and personality. It is evident that Schedel paid meticulous attention to capturing not only physical features but also the spirit behind them. Displayed within a private collection today, this print serves as a testament to both Plautus' enduring legacy and Schedel's artistic talent. As we gaze upon this image from centuries ago, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance of an ancient writer whose works continue to entertain audiences even today. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully preserved this piece for us all to appreciate its historical significance. Through his lens, we can admire not only the artistry involved but also gain insight into one of Rome's greatest literary minds - Titus Maccius Plaut
