EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we witness a powerful moment of divine intervention. Mercury, also known as Hermes in Greek mythology, is depicted here issuing a command to Calypso - the enchantress who had held Ulysses captive on her island for years. The image captures the intensity and urgency of the scene. Mercury's commanding presence is evident as he stands tall with his staff in hand, radiating authority and determination. His piercing gaze seems to penetrate through time and space, conveying his unwavering resolve. Calypso appears both startled and resigned at once. Her flowing robes suggest an ethereal beauty that has long captivated Ulysses' heart. Yet now she must confront her own desires and release him from her grasp under Mercury's decree. Ulysses himself remains unseen in this particular frame but his impending freedom hangs palpably in the air. The viewer can almost sense his anticipation and longing for home after countless trials faced during his epic journey. This print serves as a visual testament to the enduring power of mythological tales that continue to captivate our imaginations today. It reminds us of humanity's eternal struggle between desire and duty, while highlighting the role played by celestial beings like Mercury/Hermes who guide mortals towards their destined paths.
