Anyone know of any other interesting combinations of literature and visual art?

< inspired by a quote from the 7th century lyric poet Alkman describing the departure from Paphos by boat, a city sacred to the goddess Aphrodite

Probably not exactly what you mean but sor Juana's Neptuno Alegórico (Allegorical neptune) is the companion piece for a Triumphal arc made to celebrate a new Viceroy in New Spain. Both the arc and the work were made with each other in mind, Neptuno Alegórico being an explanation of the arc. Hard to explain really, it was a tradition in Spain and its colonies in the past.

not hard to explain at all.

the romans (i mean like rennaissance rome) would put oin festivals and local architects would build sets and someone would write a play - most of it seems to be lost work tho - guys like Bernini did it .

Yes, what's different is that the spanish arcs of triumph resulted from a combination of roman and burgundy's tradition of arcs of triumph and also some aspects of hispanic baroque.
I guess what changes the most from roman arcs of triumph is that the ones made in Spain and the colonies were not only temporary constructions but they also were pieces that had to be descifered and understood through way of a companion piece, making them thus something similar to a conceptual art installation. In some cases the companion piece was a play, but in Sor Juana's case is a text more akin to a philosophical essay. But maybe that was something in the roman tradition too, I must admit I'm not as familiar with it.
