Exhibition history
Notae Painted in 1859, portrays the last years of the life of Ovid, exiled from Rome at the age of 50 by self-styled Augustus. The Scythian treated him, however, quite well, in contrast to the self-styled civilized Romans, adopting him and encouraging him to feel good. Just look at the care with which the nomad goes to the poet, and in the central part of the figure, drawing attention to something that surprises people who know the fame of those ancestors of todays Turks living on the shores of the Black Sea, their ancestral lands, mainly because of what Herodotus tells about them. The incredible Scythians, here, show themselves capable of greatness, of being above the smallness of Rome, who were dedicated exclusively to the satisfaction derived from the fever of conquest. This painting is also an island of coolness in the midst of volcanoes planted in the landscape paintings by Delacroix. Amid pictures of fighting and hunting, horse-breaking and memories of travel, here you have a lyric, bringing nostalgia from the civilized man of life in the natural world, a typically romantic theme that some psychologists have identified, for sure, with a kind of nostalgia for the womb. It shows, however, the proximity, the complicity that exists between the man of genius and the ordinary man - Ovid is fed mare's milk, the diet of the Scythians. It is still interesting to note that a boy smiles at him, leaning on his dog, to express that genius is only recognised through purity and fidelity. Mediocre people may love sophistication, but despises both what is above their understanding as also what seems simple. Maybe because the poor love it, is what makes it seem more than what it is.
