EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Homers Odyssey" by the English School from the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for the Pictorial Atlas to Homers Iliad and Odyssey in 1892. With its digitally cleaned image, every intricate detail comes to life. The scene depicted in this engraving takes us on a journey through ancient Greek mythology. From a young girl playing with a ball to men sailing on a wooden raft, various elements of Greek culture are beautifully captured. The presence of terracotta figures and folding clothes adds authenticity to the portrayal. Notable figures such as Athene, Artemis, Odysseus, and Nausicaa make appearances throughout the artwork. We can also spot scenes from famous locations like Pompeii and Berlin Museum's collection. The artist skillfully combines literature and art by incorporating references to Homer's epic poems - the Iliad and Odyssey. These timeless tales come alive through this visual representation. Furthermore, we catch glimpses of parlour games being played alongside horse races and farm animals - showcasing different aspects of ancient Greek society. Overall, this enchanting print offers viewers a glimpse into both mythological narratives and everyday life during that era.
