EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of Ulysses feigning madness, as depicted in the famous painting by Heywood Hardy. In this gravure, Ulysses can be seen yoking a horse and an ox to his plough, skillfully ploughing a beach while his son Telemachus stands before him. The intensity of the moment is palpable as Ulysses convincingly acts out his madness. The image was originally created for The Chefs-D Oeuvre d Art of the International Exhibition in 1878, edited by Edward Straham. It showcases classicism at its finest and exemplifies the talent and creativity that were celebrated during the Paris World's Fair that year. Goupil & Co. , renowned engravers of their time, beautifully translated Hardy's painting into this striking gravure. With meticulous attention to detail, they brought life to every stroke and contour. Now digitally cleaned and preserved in private collection, this print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind it but also glimpse into a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. As we admire Ulysses' determination and cunning strategy, we are reminded of Odysseus' epic journey home after the Trojan War. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to how art can transport us through time and space while evoking powerful emotions within our souls.
