EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing fresco "Ulysses and Circe" by Pellegrino Tibaldi, created around 1550. The artwork is housed in the magnificent Palazzo Poggi in Bologna, Italy. The scene depicts a pivotal moment from Greek mythology, where Ulysses encounters the enchantress Circe. As the legendary hero of Homer's Odyssey, Ulysses faces numerous trials during his long journey home from the Trojan War. In this particular episode, he finds himself under the spellbinding influence of Circe. Tibaldi's mastery is evident in his portrayal of this mystical encounter. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life both characters' emotions and their surroundings. The artist skillfully captures Ulysses' struggle against Circe's magic as she attempts to transform him into an animal. This piece not only represents a significant moment in classical literature but also exemplifies Italian Renaissance art at its finest. Tibaldi's work reflects the artistic style known as Cinquecento, characterized by its attention to detail and harmonious composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand Ulysses' battle against witchcraft and sorcery while marveling at Tibaldi's exceptional talent for storytelling through paintbrush strokes.
