From George Sandys edition of Ovid's Metamorphosis (1632)

Info from duplicate image

Engraved frontispiece to a 1632 London edition of Ovid's poems, George Sandys, translator. The University of Virginia's Ovid Illustrated: The Renaissance Reception of Ovid in Image and Text shows this engraving: click on "title-page of George Sandys' Ovids Metamorphosis Englished." for frontispieces. It is the most extraordinarily fluent, fully Baroque engraving for a London book of 1632. --Wetman 22:51, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
