EDITORS COMMENTS
The Goddess Calypso rescues Ulysses, a captivating masterpiece by Cornelis van Poelenburgh, transports us into the enchanting world of Greek mythology. This exquisite painting, dating back to 1630 and now housed in the prestigious Hallwylska Museet in Stockholm, captures a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. In this scene, we witness the divine intervention of Calypso, a nymph known for her beauty and powers of seduction. Ulysses (also known as Odysseus), the heroic protagonist of The Odyssey and veteran warrior from the Trojan War, finds himself stranded on Calypso's island after his long journey home is thwarted by treacherous seas. Van Poelenburgh's masterful brushstrokes bring to life the tension between these two characters. With delicate precision and vibrant colors that illuminate every detail, he portrays Calypso extending her hand towards Ulysses with an expression filled with compassion and longing. It is through her intervention that Ulysses will eventually find his way back to his beloved homeland. This painting not only showcases Van Poelenburgh's technical skill but also serves as a visual representation of ancient Greek literature and its enduring impact on art throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the timeless allure of mythological tales and their ability to captivate our imagination across centuries.
