Une monographie unique sur les Métamorphoses d'Ovide et son impact durable sur l'art occidental, derrière ses images les plus emblématiques. L'une des œuvres les plus célèbres de l'antiquité classique, Les Métamorphoses d'Ovide, a profondément influencé l'art occidental de l'antiquité à aujourd'hui. Depuis la Renaissance, ses histoires sont une source d'inspiration pour les artistes. Ovide raconte la vie de dieux, de figures mythologiques et de mortels, tous en train de subir des transformations. Parmi les plus frappants, Daphné se transforme en laurier pour échapper à Apollon, Jupiter séduit Io sous la forme d'un nuage et le sculpteur Pygmalion tombe amoureux de sa propre création - une statue de Galatée animée. Les expositions au Rijksmuseum (février 2026) et à la Galleria Borghese (juin 2026), ainsi que ce catalogue qui les accompagne, présentent le vaste héritage artistique inspiré par Ovide à travers le temps et les médias. Les sculptures du Bernin et Rodin côtoient des peintures de Titien, Poussin et Rembrandt, tandis que des œuvres d'artistes du 20e et 21e siècle sont également incluses.

Ovid's Metamorphoses and its lasting impact on visual art
The Roman poet Ovid’s Metamorphoses is among the most important works of Classical Antiquity, described in the seventeenth century as a ‘Bible for artists’. The compelling epic intertwines tales of chaos and the cosmos, encounters between gods, humans and nature, and the countless transformations to which they gave rise.
For centuries, artists have drawn inspiration from these highly imaginative accounts of passion, jealousy, cunning and deceit on the part of deities, heroes and ordinary mortals. The stories have been interpreted in marble and paint, and more recently in moving pictures. This book shows the immense influence that Ovid has exerted on the visual arts – from Antiquity to the present day. It presents sculptures by Cellini, Bernini, Rodin and Bourgeois alongside paintings by Titian, Correggio, Caravaggio, Arcimboldo and Rubens.
Ovid’s myths address universal human feelings, allowing them to speak as powerfully as ever to our imagination. This richly illustrated book, featuring essays by Francesca Cappelletti, Claudia Cieri Via, Bart Ramakers, Frits Scholten and Lucia Simonato, is the living proof.
This publication accompanies the exhibitions at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (6 February-25 May 2026) and the Galleria Borghese, Rome (22 June-20 September 2026).
