The Descent is Easy: Illustrating Vergil’s Underworld

January 13, 2022

The exhibit, entitled “The Descent is Easy: Illustrating Vergil’s Underworld”, is located on the 3rd floor of Pickler outside Special Collections. It features woodcuts and prints created by Art and Latin students inspired by Vergil’s underworld, didactic information about the art and process, and – the showstopper – two leaves from a 1502 edition of Vergil’s Aeneid printed by Johann Grueninger and edited by Sebastian Brant.  The exhibit will be open throughout the Spring.
