EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bernardino Pinturicchio's masterpiece, "Penelope with the Suitors" created in 1509 and reproduced in 1909. The painting, housed at The National Gallery in London, depicts a pivotal scene from Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey. In this enchanting artwork, Penelope stands amidst a group of suitors vying for her hand in marriage while she remains faithful to her absent husband, Odysseus. The composition is rich with symbolism and emotion as Penelope exudes strength and determination amidst the chaos of unwanted advances. Pinturicchio masterfully captures the tension between loyalty and temptation through his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of colors. The setting is an opulent interior that reflects both Greek aesthetics and Renaissance sensibilities. The lush green hues surrounding Penelope symbolize her fidelity while contrasting against the blue tones representing faithlessness among the suitors. This juxtaposition highlights Penelope's unwavering commitment to waiting for her beloved Odysseus' return. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back to the 16th century when Pinturicchio skillfully brought ancient tales to life on canvas. Through his brushstrokes, he immortalized Penelope as a timeless icon of devotion and resilience. This print serves as a testament to Pinturicchio's artistic prowess while also reminding us of the enduring power literature holds over our collective imagination.
