EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "THE ODYSSEY. Circe and Odysseus: woodcut, German, 1493" takes us back in time to the ancient world of Greek mythology. The image depicts a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, where the cunning hero Odysseus encounters the enchantress Circe. In this woodcut masterpiece created in Germany in 1493, we witness the meeting between these two iconic characters. Circe, a powerful goddess known for her ability to transform men into animals with a mere touch of her wand, stands before Odysseus with an air of mystique and allure. Her flowing robes and ethereal presence highlight her divine nature. Odysseus himself is portrayed as a brave warrior who has successfully navigated countless challenges on his long journey home from the Trojan War. With his sword drawn and shield at hand, he cautiously approaches Circe while maintaining his legendary wit and intelligence. The intricate details of this woodcut bring life to the scene - from the delicate lines that define their facial expressions to the carefully etched patterns adorning their garments. It serves as a testament to both the artistic skill of its creator and its enduring significance within Western literature. For any admirer of Greek mythology or art enthusiasts alike, this stunning print offers an opportunity to delve into one of history's greatest tales while appreciating the beauty captured by Granger Art on Demand's meticulous reproduction process.
