EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving by Tommaso Piroli, titled "Odysseus presenting his wife Penelope with his bow and quiver of arrows," is an exquisite depiction of a cherished moment from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey." In this scene, the legendary hero Odysseus, also known as Ulysses, returns home after a long and perilous journey to find his loyal wife Penelope. The image captures the tender reunion between the two, with Odysseus presenting Penelope with his prized possessions - his bow and a quiver full of arrows. The bow, a symbol of his strength and warrior status, is a testament to his heroic exploits and survival during his decade-long absence. The quiver of arrows signifies his readiness to protect his family and home. Penelope, in turn, is depicted with a look of surprise and delight, her hands delicately reaching out to touch the familiar objects. The engraving masterfully conveys the deep emotional connection between the couple, as well as the sense of relief and happiness that comes with their long-awaited reunion. This beautiful work of art is a part of Tommaso Piroli's "Antiquities of Herculaneum" series, published in Rome in 1789. The series was inspired by the ancient Roman frescoes and art discovered at the archaeological site of Herculaneum, which had been buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. This engraving, in particular, showcases the classical artistry and intricate detail that characterized the ancient Roman world.
