EDITORS COMMENTS
This black chalk drawing, titled "Polyphemus" showcases the artistic brilliance of Italian master Pellegrino Tibaldi. Measuring 44.5x31.2 cm, this piece is housed in the prestigious Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany. The artwork depicts Polyphemus, a giant cyclops from Greek mythology and a character in Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. With one menacing eye glaring fiercely at the viewer, Tibaldi skillfully captures the rage and strength of this formidable monster. Polyphemus' story intertwines with that of Odysseus (also known as Ulysses), who blinded him to escape his clutches. This drawing serves as a study for exploring the complex emotions associated with anger and revenge present throughout The Odyssey. Tibaldi's Renaissance style shines through in every stroke of black chalk on paper, showcasing his mastery over form and texture. The artist's attention to detail brings life to Polyphemus' muscular physique and furrowed brow. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported into an ancient world filled with mythical creatures and heroic tales. Tibaldi's portrayal reminds us of both our fascination with monsters like Polyphemus and our admiration for human resilience against overwhelming odds.
