EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the intense moment of Penelope unraveling her web. Painted by Joseph Wright of Derby in 1783-1784, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of Greek mythology and showcases the artist's exceptional talent. The scene depicts Penelope, wife of Odysseus from Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey" as she unravels a tapestry during her husband's long absence. With an air of determination and focus, Penelope is portrayed delicately untangling the intricate threads that symbolize her loyalty and devotion to her beloved husband. Wright's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, bringing life to Penelope's expressive face and creating a sense of movement within the composition. The play between light and shadow adds depth and drama to the scene, enhancing its emotional impact. Measuring 106 × 131.4 cm (41 3/4 × 51 3/4 inches), this print allows us to appreciate Wright's mastery even more closely. It serves as a reminder not only of his artistic brilliance but also of the timeless themes explored throughout art history. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within your own home, this print from Liszt Collection offers an opportunity for reflection on love, loyalty, and perseverance - qualities embodied by Penelope herself.
