EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration by Cristoforo Majorana, a renowned artist active during the late 15th century. The artwork, titled "Penelope writing, Telemachus and Laertes" serves as an enchanting visual interpretation of Ovid's Heroides. Created between 1485 and 1499, this masterpiece can be found in the prestigious collection of The Huntington in California. The image transports us to ancient Italy, where Roman mythology intertwines with medieval legend. It depicts Penelope engrossed in her writing while surrounded by her son Telemachus and father-in-law Laertes. As characters from Homer's Odyssey come alive on parchment through Majorana's skilled brushstrokes, we are reminded of the enduring power of Greek mythology. The illuminated manuscript is a testament to the artistry prevalent during the Middle Ages. Every detail is meticulously rendered using watercolor on parchment, resulting in vibrant colors that still captivate viewers today. This piece not only pays homage to classical literature but also exemplifies allegory and literature within medieval art. With references to Troy, Odysseus (also known as Ulysses), and the Trojan War woven into its narrative threads, this artwork invites us into a world filled with heroism and adventure. It beautifully captures both the grandeur of ancient Greece and Rome while showcasing Majorana's mastery of his craft. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we cannot help but appreciate how it seamlessly combines history
