EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us to the mythical world of Greek mythology. Created in the 18th century by Bartolomeo Crivellari and Gabriel Soderling, this etching and engraving depicts an iconic scene from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. In this dramatic moment, we witness Ulysses' desperate attempt to escape his captors. With his raft barely afloat amidst treacherous waves, he is aided by the sea deity Leucothea. This female figure emerges from the depths of Neptune's realm to guide him safely through turbulent waters. The intricate details captured in this artwork showcase Crivellari and Soderling's mastery of their craft. Every line and stroke brings life to Ulysses' determined expression as he battles against all odds for his freedom. As we gaze upon this masterpiece housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of the enduring power of literature and its ability to inspire artists across centuries. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with mythological tales that continue to resonate with audiences today. Let this enchanting print transport you into a world where gods intervene in mortal affairs, where heroes face unimaginable challenges, and where art immortalizes these timeless stories for generations to come.
