EDITORS COMMENTS
Télémaque ravagé par l'amour," or "Telemachus Ravaged by Love," is a lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1842. This humorous work of art is part of Daumier's series "L'Histoire ancienne," published in the satirical weekly magazine "Le Charivari." The print depicts the ancient Greek hero Telemachus, son of Odysseus, who is shown barefoot and dressed in a simple tunic, carrying a bouquet of flowers with a look of longing and despair on his face. The scene is set by a quote from Alfred de Musset's poem "Cigarette," which reads, "Despite Mentor, who grumbles at him without ceasing / He pillaged every morning / The most brilliant flowers for his tender mistress, / Flowers with which this lively hussy / Ornamented her satin throat." Telemachus is shown in the midst of this daily ritual, with a garland of flowers around his neck, and a bouquet in hand. The print is a testament to the power of love and the lengths people will go to please their loved ones. The use of black and white tones adds to the nostalgic and timeless quality of the image, while the satirical tone and the humorous take on ancient Greek mythology make it a beloved piece of 19th-century art. The print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and continues to be a source of inspiration and amusement for art lovers and scholars alike. Daumier's "Télémaque ravagé par l'amour" is a masterful example of the artist's ability to capture the human condition with wit and humor, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the enduring power of love.
