EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph depicts the enchanting scene from Greek mythology where Circe, a powerful sorceress, feeds the companions of Odysseus after transforming them into pigs. Created by Armand Joseph Bonamy in the early 20th century, this print beautifully captures the essence of this ancient tale. In this illustration from "Le Retour d'Ulysse" by Jean-Baptiste Coissac, we witness Circe's magical abilities as she stands before a group of bewildered men who have been turned into helpless swine. The vibrant colors bring to life the supernatural elements of black magic and sorcery that surround her. The image transports us back to ancient Greece, with its rich mythological history and tales passed down through generations. It evokes a sense of wonder and intrigue as we delve into the world of gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines. The artist skillfully portrays not only the transformation but also the emotions felt by both Circe and Odysseus' companions. We can almost feel their fear and confusion as they are at once trapped in animal forms yet still retain their human consciousness. This print serves as a reminder of how literature has shaped our understanding of different cultures throughout time. It is an exquisite piece that celebrates both artistry and storytelling while capturing an iconic moment in Greek mythology.
