EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plate 6: Ulysses driving a burning stake into Polyphemus eye, 1756" transports us back to the 18th century. Created by Italian artists Bartolomeo Crivellari and Domenico Maria Fratta, this etching and engraving depicts a pivotal moment from Greek mythology. The scene showcases Ulysses, also known as Odysseus, bravely confronting the Cyclops Polyphemus. With determination in his eyes, Ulysses drives a burning stake into the giant's single eye. The gruesome nature of this act is vividly captured through intricate details and expert shading. As we gaze upon this artwork housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), we are reminded of its historical significance. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature and mythological tales that have shaped our cultural heritage. The collaboration between Crivellari and Fratta brings together their artistic prowess to create an image that evokes both awe and horror. Their use of contrasting tones adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the intensity of the moment. Through this print, we witness not only an iconic episode from Homer's Odyssey but also appreciate the skillful craftsmanship behind it.
