EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in Homer's epic tale, "The Odyssey". Ulysses, the legendary Greek hero, stands at the doorstep of Pastor Eumees' house. The artist skillfully captures the tension and uncertainty that surrounds this encounter. Ulysses knows that his life hangs in the balance; he may be devoured by vicious dogs if not welcomed inside. The Flemish School artist brings this ancient story to life with intricate engravings and attention to detail. Published in Amsterdam in 1731, this illustration is part of a larger collection housed privately in Milan. Its historical significance and artistic brilliance make it a true treasure. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to ancient Greece - a world filled with mythology, bravery, and confrontation. Ulysses' journey home after the Trojan War has been fraught with perilous adventures and divine intervention. Now faced with potential danger once again, he must rely on his wit and cunning to survive. Giancarlo Costa's masterful interpretation of this scene invites us to delve deeper into one of literature's greatest works. It reminds us of the enduring power of storytelling across time and cultures. This print serves as both an homage to classical antiquity and a testament to the timeless allure of mythological characters like Ulysses.
