EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey. The scene depicts Telemaque's arrival at Pilos, guided by the goddess Minerva herself. Created by an anonymous Flemish artist of the 18th century, this illustration was featured in a 1731 edition of the Odyssey published in Amsterdam. Telemaque, son of Odysseus and Penelope, embarks on a journey to search for his father who has been missing since the Trojan War. In book III of the Odyssey, he arrives at Pilos seeking guidance from Nestor, a wise old king known for his wisdom and hospitality. In this enchanting engraving, we see Telemaque standing tall beside Minerva as they approach Pilos' shores. The artist skillfully portrays their regal presence and hints at their divine nature through subtle details like Minerva's radiant aura. The composition is rich with symbolism: Telemaque represents youth and determination while Minerva embodies wisdom and protection. Together they form an unlikely but powerful alliance that will shape Telemaque's heroic journey. This artwork not only serves as an exquisite visual representation of Homeric literature but also showcases the talent of its creator. It now resides in a private collection in Milan where it continues to inspire awe and admiration for both mythology enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
