EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment from European culture and ancient history. The scene depicts the legendary hero Ulysses, peacefully asleep as he is gently laid on the coast of Ithaca by Phaeacian sailors. This poignant image captures the essence of Ulysses' arduous journey and his eventual return home. The artist beautifully portrays the tranquility that envelops Ulysses, contrasting it with the ruggedness of his surroundings. As he lies there, one can almost sense his exhaustion after years spent battling mythical creatures and facing countless trials. It is a testament to his resilience and determination that he has finally reached Ithaca, his beloved homeland. This artwork draws inspiration from "Stories From Homer" by Reverend Alfred J. Church, M. A. , accompanied by illustrations crafted by John Flaxman in 1878 London. Their collaboration brings forth an evocative representation of ancient civilization's heroes. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we cannot help but be reminded of the enduring power of storytelling and its ability to transport us across time and space. Through art like this, we gain insight into our collective past while also appreciating the artistic talent that breathes life into these tales. Whitemay's rendition serves as a visual tribute to both classical literature enthusiasts and admirers of fine art alike – capturing a moment frozen in time where myth meets reality on the shores of Ithaca.
