1. Title: "Joan Rois de Corella (1435-1497): A Valencian Poet and Humanist in the Late 15th Century" This engraving showcases the esteemed figure of Joan Rois de Corella (1435-1497), a prominent Valencian poet and humanist of the late 15th century. Born in Valencia, Spain, Rois de Corella was an influential figure in the Catalan literary scene and a prolific writer in the Catalan language. The image, taken from his renowned work "Psalter," was printed in Venice in 1490 by the esteemed printer Johan Bertezog. The intricately detailed engraving depicts Rois de Corella in a thoughtful and contemplative pose, surrounded by an array of symbols signifying his scholarly pursuits and spiritual devotion. The poet is shown wearing a monk's habit, symbolizing his connection to the monastic tradition, while a crown rests atop his head, representing his recognition as a respected figure in the Kingdom of Valencia. An angel, perhaps symbolizing divine inspiration, hovers above him, further emphasizing Rois de Corella's spiritual and intellectual pursuits. The engraving is beautifully colored, adding depth and vibrancy to the intricate details. The gothic style, popular during this period in Europe, is evident in the ornate borders and the delicate lines that frame the image. Rois de Corella's "Psalter," a collection of religious poetry, was an important contribution to the European literary tradition, showcasing the richness and depth of the Catalan language. His work continues to be celebrated and studied today, offering a glimpse into the intellectual and artistic world of the late 15th century. This engraving is a testament to Rois de Corella's enduring legacy as a Valencian poet and humanist, whose influence extended beyond the borders of his native land and continues to resonate in the annals of European history.
