EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from the epic tale of Ulysses, as depicted in the fresco by Pellegrino Tabaldi. In this scene, Poseidon, the god of the sea, opposes Ulysses' return home and sends a fierce storm to destroy his raft. Despite the chaos surrounding him, Ulysses clings desperately to a wreck for survival.
Ino, a benevolent sea nymph, comes to his aid by entrusting him with a magic veil that will protect him from perishing at sea. The delicate haze surrounding them adds an air of mystique and enchantment to the scene.
The intricate details in this 16th-century artwork bring to life the rich mythology and legends of ancient Greece. The bravery and resilience of Ulysses are evident as he faces seemingly insurmountable challenges on his journey back home.
This print is not just a visual masterpiece but also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and mythological characters. It transports viewers into a world where gods and heroes interact in ways that both inspire awe and evoke empathy.
Displayed at Palazzo Poggi in Bologna, Italy, this piece is a testament to the timeless appeal of Greek mythology and its influence on art throughout history.
