Pierre de Ronsard, a Renaissance poet to royalty, is the author of Les Amours de Cassandre. After years at court, he turned his attention to scholarly studies, focusing on his great love of the Greek and Roman classics, and is often depicted in a toga and laurel wreath. In his rendition of Les Amours de Cassandre, Dalí illustrates the favorite themes of the famous poet and humanist from the French Renaissance.
