EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Ulysses threatening Circe" transports us to the mythical world of ancient Greece. Painted by Jacob Jordaens in the early 17th century, this oil on wood masterpiece measures 86 x 105.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. The scene depicted here captures a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. Shipwrecked on the enchanting island of Aiaia, Ulysses and his companions find themselves at the mercy of Circe, a powerful sorceress who transforms visitors into animals. In an act of heroism and cunning, Ulysses receives a healing herb from Hermes that renders him immune to Circe's potion. With determination etched upon his face and armed with sword and armor, Ulysses confronts Circe amidst her opulent palace. Surrounded by attendants and handmaidens draped in rich fabrics, she kneels before him as he demands mercy for his crew transformed into pigs. Jordaens masterfully captures the dramatic tension between good and evil through striking contrasts of light and shadow. The lush landscape serves as a backdrop to this meeting of mortal man with divine goddess - an encounter that will ultimately lead to their transformation back into human form. This painting exemplifies Jordaen's skillful portrayal of mythological narratives during the Dutch Golden Age. Its intricate details invite viewers to immerse themselves in this timeless tale of adventure, magic, and triumph over adversity.
