EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing scene of Ulysses at the table of Circe, a witch-goddess from Greek mythology. Created by John Flaxman for "Stories From Homer" in 1878, this engraved image transports us to ancient Greece and its rich tapestry of heroes and legends. In this classical-style illustration, we witness Ulysses seated at a lavish table adorned with sumptuous food and drink. The color palette of yellow, orange, and black adds an air of mystique to the scene. Ulysses sits deep in thought, contemplating his next move amidst the temptations laid before him. Circe herself stands nearby, her enchanting presence emanating power and allure. As a goddess known for her ability to transform men into animals through her magical potions, she represents both danger and seduction. The artist skillfully captures this duality in his portrayal of Circe as an alluring yet sinister figure. The attention to detail is evident throughout the engraving; from the intricate patterns on the tablecloth to the expressions on each character's face. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of an ancient mythological tale but also provides insight into European culture and its fascination with classical history. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded that stories from our past continue to captivate our imagination even centuries later. It invites us to delve into worlds beyond our own reality - where heroes battle mythical creatures and gods meddle in mortal affairs - reminding us that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing moments frozen in time.
