Product Description

The Shepheard Calender is Edmund Spenser's first major poetic work written around 1579, which features 12 eclogues inspired by Virgil's Bucolics . The theme of each eclogue varies for each month of the year. Cy Twombly appropriating the work comes to replace each eclogue of the poet by one of his drawings conceived in echo of the pastoral poems. This book highlights the importance that Cy Twombly gave to cycles and series in which he reinvented, in his own way, the great history painting.
