This engraving by French artist René Boyvin, created in 1566, depicts the Roman poet Virgil. The detailed portrait, featuring a laurel wreath, showcases Boyvin's mastery of line and detail. The inscription below, “VIRGILIUS CLAR. SUB. AVG. CAES”, identifies the subject and his affiliation with the Roman emperors. This piece, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the Renaissance fascination with ancient figures and their artistic representations.
