EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving is an exquisite representation of a scene from "The Adventures of Telemachus," a renowned literary work by the French Archbishop and writer Francois Fenelon. The image, taken from the first book of the series, depicts Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, as he arrives on the island of Calypso, accompanied by the goddess Minerva. During the 17th century, in the heart of the Age of Enlightenment, Fenelon, who was also the Bishop of Cambrai, wrote this coming-of-age tale that pays homage to the classical Greek tradition. The story follows Telemachus as he embarks on a journey to find his father, Odysseus, who has been missing for years. In this scene, Telemachus is shown as a young, determined prince, receiving guidance from the wise goddess Minerva. The detail in the engraving is remarkable, with the serene expression on Telemachus' face and the regal bearing of Minerva. The image is a testament to the rich literary and artistic heritage of the time, reflecting the influence of the French King Louis XIV and the modern critical acclaim that "The Adventures of Telemachus" continues to enjoy. This beautiful engraving is part of the Episcopal Library of Barcelona, located in Catalonia, Spain. It is a rare and valuable piece of history, showcasing the enduring appeal of Fenelon's work and the classical themes that continue to resonate with readers and scholars alike.
