EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph captures the poignant moment when Calypso bids farewell to Ulysses on the seashore. The intricate details and vibrant hues bring this mythological scene to life, as Calypso, a nymph from Greek mythology, stands gracefully against the backdrop of the sea.
The artist, Frederick Richardson, skillfully conveys the emotion of this parting through his masterful use of color and composition. The soft blues and greens of the sea contrast with Calypso's flowing red robes, creating a sense of drama and movement in the image.
This print is a visual representation of a timeless tale from ancient mythology, illustrating the power of love and longing that transcends time and place. As Ulysses prepares to leave Calypso behind on her island paradise, we can feel her sorrow and resignation in every brushstroke.
Displayed in "The Wonder Book of Myths and Legends," compiled by William Byron Forbush in 1928, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its evocative storytelling. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of myths and legends throughout history.
Whether you are drawn to Greek mythology or simply appreciate beautiful artistry, this print is sure to enchant you with its rich symbolism and emotional depth. Let yourself be transported to another world where gods and mortals mingle on the shores of ancient Greece.
