Jusepe de Ribera
The Poet (Etching, 1620-21)
“Dressed in voluminous robes, crowned with laurel, and leaning on a stone with head in hand, Ribera’s poet is one of the most striking images of the artist’s early career. The iconography, a synthesis of the attributes of Melancholy and Poetry, has been explored in detail by scholars. An alternative suggestion that the poet is Virgil seems a viable one, especially since his tomb was traditionally thought to be in Naples.”

Dragonesque Brooch
Roman Britain, 1st or 2nd century AD
The ‘dragonesque’ form of this brooch is typically Romano-British: first appearing after the start of the Roman conquest of southern England in AD 43, but embodying native artistic taste.
Dragonesque brooches were not only decorative objects, but also functional fasteners - a strongly-curved pin (missing on this example) would have held a thick fold of cloth.
