Les XV. liures de la Metamorphose d'Ouide is an illustrated French translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses, printed in Paris in 1539 by Denys Janot for a readership of educated French readers. Its woodcut pictures show classical myth scenes in simple outline, with figures in contemporary dress, rendered in crisp black line with little shading, a model for narrative blocks set beside printed text.
