Framed Print of Scipio Lying in Bed Dreaming; Guillaume de Lorris Lying in Bed Dreaming, about 1405. Creators: Unknown, Guillaume de Lorris
Scipio Lying in Bed Dreaming; Guillaume de Lorris Lying in Bed Dreaming; Roman de la Rose, about 1405.
Additional Info:On the left of this page, the Roman general Scipio lies asleep. Medieval writers and thinkers often used his dream that he would conquer a Carthaginian colony in Spain as a famous example of a dream that came true. At the right, the narrator of the Romance of the Rose, both the lover in the text and its author, lies asleep in an almost identical bed. But while Scipio slumbers in a realistic bedchamber, the narrator lies asleep in the lush garden of his dream world. By placing the two scenes side by side, the artist bolstered the author's claim that the narrator's dream tells the truth and predicts what will come. Quote Text:Many men say that there is nothing in dreams but fables and lies, but one may have dreams which are not deceitful, whose import becomes quite clear afterward. So wrote Guillaume de Lorris at the beginning of the Romance of the Rose. His words reminded readers of the importance of dreams and of the long-held belief in their ability to predict future events. In fact, the romance's entire narrative unfolds during the course of the narrator's dream. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © Heritage Art/Heritage Images
