EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Penelope, 1878" is a stunning display of the artistic talent of Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys. Created using coloured chalk on paper, this piece showcases the artist's mastery in capturing intricate details and emotions. The subject of this portrait is Penelope, known as the faithful wife of Odysseus from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. With her Grecian hairstyle elegantly arranged and an air of grace surrounding her, Penelope exudes both strength and vulnerability. Her eyes hold a deep sense of longing and determination as she awaits her husband's return from the Trojan War. Sandys' pre-Raphaelite style shines through in this drawing, with its meticulous attention to detail and rich use of color. Every stroke seems purposeful and deliberate, bringing Penelope to life on the page. Housed at The Higgins Art Gallery & Museum in Bedford, UK, this artwork serves as a testament to Sandys' skill as well as his fascination with classical mythology. It invites viewers to delve into ancient tales while appreciating the beauty and complexity that lies within each character. Through this remarkable portrayal of Penelope, Sandys captures not only her physical appearance but also her inner strength and resilience. This print serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst adversity and uncertainty, hope can endure.
