# Virgil: Works [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MINIATURIST, Italian]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Manuscript \(Varia 190\) ## Commentary This manuscript contains the Bucolics, the Georgics and the Aeneid by Virgil, and some other pseudo-Virgilian works. Due to the removal of many leaves, the decorative scheme is reduced to a mere four illustrations. It is believed that the illumination is the work of Matteo Felice's workshop in Naples. Felice's activity is documented from 1467 to 1493. The beginning of the Bucolics \(folio 1\) is decorated with a wide, ornate border inhabited by seven putti in various poses. On the inner side another narrow border of fruit and laurel frames the writing space and the bucolic scene which precedes the first lines of the text. ## Related artworks - [Alessandro Cortesi: Poem]() - [Antiphonary]() - [Antiphonary]() - [Antiphonary]() - [Antiphoner]() - [Antiphoner]() - [Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics]() - [Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics]() - [Armiranda]() - [Aulus Gellius: Noctes Atticae]() - [Averulino: On the Architecture]() - [Baldo Martorelli: Grammar]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
