Seneca "Wisdom" Print
"No one was ever wise by chance." - Seneca From his Epistles to Lucilius (Letter 76: On Learning Wisdom in Old Age). Seneca wrote 124 letters to his friend in his last years, between his withdrawal from an increasingly paranoid and depraved emperor Nero, and his death three years later. In this illustration, an owl carrying a scroll confronts the viewer with wings unfolded. The wings are "lined" with Latin text from Seneca's letters rendered in a handwritten style of the period, a challenge and invitation to contend with the writings of this wise and patient philosopher.
