EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the ancient world of Greek mythology. The image depicts a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey" where Ulysses encounters the formidable giant Polyphemus. Ulysses, known for his cunning and resourcefulness, stands tall before the towering figure of Polyphemus. With a confident gaze and outstretched arm, he offers a goblet filled with wine to the one-eyed monster. This scene captures the essence of Ulysses' ingenuity as he devises a plan to escape from Polyphemus' clutches. Polyphemus, portrayed as an imposing figure with his muscular physique and single eye glaring menacingly at Ulysses, is momentarily distracted by the enticing drink in front of him. Little does he know that this act of hospitality will be his downfall. The artist behind this masterpiece is John Flaxman who skillfully brings Alfred Church's written interpretation of Homer's story to life. Through intricate details and masterful brushstrokes, Flaxman transports us into this mythical realm where gods and mortals collide. This print serves as a visual reminder of humanity's timeless fascination with storytelling and our enduring love for classical literature. It invites us to delve deeper into these tales passed down through generations while appreciating the artistic talent that breathes life into them. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we cannot help but feel captivated
