Ovid by Luca Signorelli and his school (1499-1504),185 hits to 6/18/11.

Though a classical author in ancient Rome, Ovid was highly significant in Renaissance Europe, including England both in translation and academic study of the originals: Shakespeare's texts such as A Midsummer Night's Dream are saturated with allusions to his works, particularly the Metamorphoses.
