EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink drawing by Bartolomeo Pinelli transports us to the world of Greek mythology, specifically to a scene from The Adventures of Telemachus. In this intricate artwork, we see Telemachus and Mentor aboard a galley ship as they flee the enchanting yet treacherous island of Calypso.
The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the swirling waves beneath the ship to the expressions on the faces of Telemachus and Mentor. The use of gray and brown wash adds depth and dimension to the scene, creating a sense of movement and urgency as they make their escape.
As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of Homer's epic tale of Odysseus' journey home after the Trojan War. The presence of Calypso, a sea nymph who held Odysseus captive on her island for seven years, adds an element of danger and mystery to the narrative.
Pinelli's skillful portrayal captures both the excitement and uncertainty that come with embarking on a nautical adventure. Through his artistry, he invites us to join Telemachus and Mentor on their daring voyage across uncharted waters towards an unknown destiny.
