Telemachus Describes How He Was Admitted into the Assembly in Crete
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pen and ink drawing by the Italian artist Bartolomeo Pinelli, created in the 19th century. This masterpiece, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, depicts a pivotal moment from Book 5 of Homer's Odyssey, where Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, gains entry into the assembly of the elders in Crete. The drawing showcases a group of men, clustered together in a council chamber, with Telemachus standing confidently at the center. He is introduced to the assembly by an elderly man, likely the leader, who gestures towards him with a nod. The atmosphere is tense, with the men's faces etched with concern and curiosity. The use of color and shade adds depth and dimension to the scene, with dark gray and brown wash over traces of black chalk on ivory laid paper laid down on board. Pinelli's mastery of pen and ink is evident in the intricate details of the men's clothing, the folds of their robes, and the textures of their beards. The drawing is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of Greek mythology and bring it to life through his art. This work of art is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection and a must-see for anyone interested in the 19th century, Italian art, or Greek mythology. The drawing invites the viewer to step into the world of Telemachus and experience the intrigue and excitement of his journey towards manhood and the reunion with his father, Odysseus.
