Answer:

Ovid employed two meanings of art to produce meaning in the term "art hides art"; one is that art cannot copy nature's art to such an extent that it conceals achievement.

Explanation:

Ovid began his career as the first great Roman poet under Augustus' authority, and his best-known work is "Metamorphoses," a 15-book epic mythical story written in elegiac couplets like Ars Amatoria ("The Art of Love") and Fasti. It tells the story of Pygmalion, a sculptor who creates an ivory statue called Galatea to reflect his ideal of femininity and then falls in love with his own invention. In response to his supplication, the goddess Venus summons the statue to life.

Nature, according to Ovid, is superior to art since it cannot be compared to his work. In his poem, he expresses two competing viewpoints on nature and its relationship to art.
