EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Nausicaa throwing the Ball, an engraving by John Flaxman. Set against a snowy backdrop, this classical scene transports us to the world of Homer's Odyssey. Nausicaa, depicted with grace and poise, is seen in mid-action as she skillfully throws the ball with her hand. Flaxman's meticulous attention to detail brings forth a sense of authenticity to this portrayal. The erroneous notion that women were not active participants in classical games is debunked here, as Nausicaa emerges as a formidable player in this parlour game. Drawing inspiration from literature and mythology, Flaxman masterfully captures the spirit of Odysseus' encounter with Nausicaa. This engraving serves as an illustration for Flaxmans Classical Outlines by John C L Sparkes (Seeley, 1885), showcasing his deep understanding and appreciation for classical themes. The image evokes nostalgia for ancient times while simultaneously highlighting the timeless appeal of ball games throughout history. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people found joy and entertainment through simple yet engaging activities like throwing balls. Displayed proudly in a private collection, this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in both artistry and storytelling. Bridgeman Images has preserved this masterpiece so admirers can appreciate its beauty without commercial intentions or mention thereof.
