EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the emotional reunion between Ulysses and Penelope, two iconic figures from ancient Greek mythology. Painted by John Flaxman in 1878, this engraved image beautifully depicts the meeting of these legendary characters as described in Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey". In this classical-style artwork, Ulysses returns to his homeland of Ithaki after years of wandering following the Trojan War. As he enters their grand hall, Penelope rushes towards him with open arms and a look of pure joy on her face. Their love for each other is palpable as they embrace and share a tender kiss. Flaxman's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. The vibrant colors - yellow, orange, and black - bring life to this ancient scene while maintaining an air of fantasy that transports viewers back to a time long past. This painting not only showcases the artistic talent of John Flaxman but also serves as a testament to European culture and its fascination with ancient history. It reminds us of the enduring power of mythological characters like Ulysses and Penelope who continue to captivate our imaginations even today. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply appreciate stories from antiquity, this stunning print will make a timeless addition to any collection.
