EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Odyssey: Odysseus and Calypso" transports viewers to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by Newell Convers Wyeth, a renowned artist from the early 20th century, this colour lithograph captures a pivotal moment in Homer's epic tale. The image showcases the mesmerizing encounter between Odysseus and Calypso, two central characters in "The Odyssey". With meticulous attention to detail, Wyeth brings their story to life on paper. The vibrant colors and intricate lines evoke a sense of wonder as we witness this mythical scene unfold before our eyes. Calypso, an immortal nymph with bewitching beauty, is depicted gazing longingly at Odysseus. Her delicate features radiate both desire and sadness as she struggles with her love for him and her duty to let him return home. Meanwhile, Odysseus stands tall and resolute, torn between his longing for his homeland and the allure of Calypso's island paradise. This print was originally created as an illustration for George Herbert Palmer's translation of "The Odyssey" published by Houghton Mifflin in 1929. It serves as a visual representation of one of literature's most enduring tales—a testament to the power of storytelling across centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that myths like these continue to captivate our imagination even today.
