La Metamorphose d'Ouide : contenant l'Olympe des histoires poëtiques : traduits de latin en françois

Ovid, 43 B.C.-17 A.D. or 18 A.D, Du Bartas, Guillaume de Salluste, seigneur, 1544-1590. Description du Chaos, Salomon, Bernard, approximately 1506-approximately 1561 · 1608 · A Rouen : Chez Theodore Reinsart ... · 36 pictures

A 1608 Rouen edition of Ovid's Metamorphoses in French verse translation, printed by Théodore Reinsart with woodcuts after Bernard Salomon's designs, for a learned readership interested in classical mythology. Its small framed woodcuts show mythological scenes of gods in clouds, crowds with spears, and figures in landscapes, with dense hatching and clear narrative staging that a designer could use for compositional study of early modern engraving.
