EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Retour d'Ulysse," or The Return of Ulysses, is a captivating 19th-century lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This masterpiece, created by Daumier in the mid-1860s, is a striking depiction of an ancient Greek mythological scene, showcasing the homecoming of the legendary hero Ulysses after his long and perilous journey. Daumier's interpretation of this classic tale is filled with wit and humor, as evidenced by the playful and exaggerated expressions on the faces of the figures in the print. The central figure, Ulysses, is shown returning home, greeted by his loyal dog, who seems to be barking in joyful recognition. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of various animals, including a donkey and a goat, adding to the lively and bustling atmosphere. The black and white, or monochrome, composition of the print adds to its timeless and classic feel, transporting the viewer back to a bygone era. The intricate details and fine lines of Daumier's drawing are beautifully rendered, making this a must-see for any art lover or history buff. This print, which is part of the vast collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the enduring appeal of Greek mythology and the artistic genius of Honore Daumier. The print's rich heritage and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any art center or gallery, and a source of inspiration and enjoyment for generations to come.
