EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century pen and ink drawing by Bartolomeo Pinelli, titled "Telemachus is Consoled by Termosiris, Priest of Apollo," we witness a poignant moment from Book 2 of The Adventures of Telemachus, based on Homer's Odyssey. The young Telemachus, despondent and seeking guidance, encounters the elderly Termosiris, a priest of Apollo, in a remote country location. The drawing beautifully captures the emotional connection between the two men. Telemachus, dressed in a brown robe, sits on the ground with his head bowed, his face etched with worry and sadness. Termosiris, an elderly man with a wise and compassionate expression, offers comfort to the young man, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. The setting is simple yet evocative, with the rolling hills and trees in the background, and a sheep grazing nearby, adding to the sense of peace and tranquility. The use of pen and ink with gray and brown wash over black chalk on ivory laid paper laid down on board creates a rich, textured effect, enhancing the depth and detail of the scene. Pinelli's masterful use of color and shading adds to the overall mood and atmosphere of the drawing. The grey and brown tones dominate, reflecting the earthy surroundings and the somber emotions of the characters. The contrast between the young and old, the despondent and the consoling, adds a layer of depth and complexity to the image. This beautiful work of art, a testament to Pinelli's skill and artistic vision, is now part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture and convey the human experience, and the timeless wisdom of literature and mythology.
