EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey". Illustrated by Antoine Calbet in 1897, the scene depicts Odysseus disguised as a beggar, standing before Eurycleia. The old servant recognizes him but is bound to secrecy by his commanding presence. In this powerful image, we see the tension between trust and betrayal. Odysseus, with his weathered face and ragged clothing, exudes both vulnerability and authority. His eyes meet Eurycleia's gaze with intensity, demanding her silence through an unspoken oath. Eurycleia's expression reveals her inner turmoil as she grapples with conflicting loyalties. Her aged features reflect wisdom gained over years of service to the family of Ithaca. Will she honor her duty to protect Odysseus' secret or succumb to the temptation of revealing his true identity? Calbet masterfully captures this dramatic moment through intricate details and skillful shading. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the characters' faces while emphasizing their emotional struggle. As viewers, we are transported back in time to witness this clandestine encounter unfold before our eyes. We become privy to a secret that could alter the course of events in Odysseus' journey home. This evocative print serves as a reminder of the timeless power of storytelling and its ability to transport us into mythical realms where heroes disguise themselves as beggars and loyal servants hold secrets that can change destinies.
