EDITORS COMMENTS
Telemachus, Believing that His Father, Ulysses, Is Dead, Searches for Him in the Underworld," is an evocative and haunting pen and ink drawing by the Italian artist Bartolomeo Pinelli, created in 1808. The image depicts the eponymous hero of Homer's Odyssey, Telemachus, in a moment of profound despair and determination as he embarks on a quest to find his long-lost father, Ulysses. The drawing captures the somber mood of the scene with its muted color palette of grey and brown hues, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that seems to emanate from the very paper itself. Telemachus, clad only in a cloak, is depicted as a determined and resolute figure, his gaze fixed intently on the horizon as he brandishes his shield and holds aloft a torch, illuminating the path before him. The background of the drawing is filled with the ethereal forms of ghostly figures, phantoms of the underworld, adding to the sense of mystery and intrigue that surrounds Telemachus' quest. The artist's masterful use of pen and ink, with delicate brushwork and brown and gray wash over traces of black chalk on ivory laid paper laid down on board, lends the image a sense of depth and texture that draws the viewer in, inviting them to explore the depths of Telemachus' emotional turmoil and the enigmatic world of Greek mythology. This powerful and evocative work of art is a testament to Pinelli's skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the essence of a timeless story. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the art of the 19th century, Italian art, or the rich heritage of Greek mythology."
