Les Métamorphoses d'Ovide : en latin, traduites en françois, avec des remarques, et des explications historiques
A 1732 Amsterdam edition of Ovid's Metamorphoses in Latin with French translation and commentary by the abbé Banier, illustrated with engraved plates by Bernard Picart and Philipp van Gunst for a learned readership. The plates are finely engraved classical scenes with draped figures, columns, clouds and rays of light, offering a designer models for mythological compositions, stage-like staging and dense hatched shading.
