This print showcases the "Portrait of Homer" fresco, created between 1501-03 by Luca Signorelli or his pupils. Housed in the Museo dell Opera del Duomo (MODO) in Orvieto, Umbria, Italy, this artwork is part of the Alberi Library cycle of monochrome frescoes. The library features renowned classical masters from various fields such as law, medicine, astronomy, and grammar. The portrait itself exudes a sense of wisdom and depth. It depicts Homer, the legendary ancient Greek poet known for his epic poems like "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey". Through intricate brushwork and meticulous attention to detail, Signorelli or his students have captured not only Homer's physical appearance but also his intellectual prowess.
