Dear List, Two areas of interest which are currently occupying me in my study of the Eclogues are their relationship to pictorial art and to the Roman theatre. I have already found a number of articles and books which touch upon these subjects (such as E.W.Leach, Berg, etc.), but would like to take them both a lot further.
On the pictorial front, I am looking for paintings/vases/etc from about the 1st century B.C to the early years of the next millenium, which might either have inspired these poems or in turn have been inspired by them. As for the theatrical dimension, I am interested in seeing how these poems (which might, after all, have been performed) could have been influenced by the stage directions and the scenic backdrops of the Roman and Italian theatre. Any suggestions of any kind (including further bibliography, websites, images,etc) will be greatly appreciated!
