EDITORS COMMENTS
Penelope's Dream: A Glimpse into Ancient Greek Mythology". This photo print, titled "Penelope's Dream" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the ethereal realms of ancient Greece. Inspired by Homer's epic tales and brought to life by the artistic genius of John Flaxman, this enchanting image captures the essence of European culture and ancient civilization. In this painted illustration, we witness Penelope, wife of Odysseus, in a state of slumber. As she rests peacefully in her bed, her mind ventures into the realm of dreams. Suddenly, surrounded by vibrant hues of yellow and orange against a backdrop of darkness, Penelope finds herself suspended mid-air. Her flowing gown billows around her as if caught in an invisible breeze. The scene evokes both surprise and wonder as we see Penelope floating effortlessly amidst classical Greek architecture. The engraved lines add depth to this allegory painting while maintaining a classical style reminiscent of antiquities. Through this artful portrayal, we are transported back to the time when gods and mythological characters roamed Ithaki during the Trojan War. It is within these fantastical dreams that Penelope seeks solace from her husband's absence. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from 1878 London, it serves as a reminder that even centuries later, ancient stories continue to inspire our imagination and ignite our curiosity about history's past glories.
