Description: Portrait of a Poet Attribute of Apollo Roman god of Poetry Palma Vecchio Print This is a plate/print taken from an antique book dated 1909. Comes with the attached Plate / print description. Measures 11x8" inches. Comes unframed. See pictures for condition. About: "This thoughtful man, probably in his late twenties, is richly dressed in a costume dating from about 1516. He holds a rosary and his hand rests on a book tied with blue ribbons. Round his neck is a type of gold chain worn by the minor nobility. The book and the laurels behind him suggest that he may have been a poet. The laurel tree was the attribute of Apollo, Roman god of poetry and music, and poets were traditionally crowned with laurel leaves. It was previously believed that the portrait represents the poet Lodovico Ariosto (1474–1533), who wrote the epic poem Orlando Furioso, published for the first time in 1516. However, Ariosto would have been 41 or 42 in 1516, which seems too old for the man in this painting, and he does not resemble descriptions of Ariosto’s appearance." ANY QUESTION PLEASE ASK!
