Metamorphosis in Ovids Poetry and Early Modern Art

Metamorphosis in Ovid's Poetry and Early Modern Art examines Ovid's tales of transformation and what they signified for early modern artists and authors. Utilizing ten works of art from the Ackland's permanent collection and two seventeenth-century volumes from the Rare Book Collection, the exhibition explores the ways in which Ovid's epic poem was used to explain not only the evolution of the world and man's interaction with the gods, but also issues of morality, identity, and the self. The exhibition includes prints, drawings, and sculpture by Dutch, German, Italian, French, and English artists from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, including Salvator Rosa, Hans Sebald Beham, and Charles Le Brun, among others.
