EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork "Calypso, 1869" by Henri Lehmann. Painted with oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 120.7x153 cm and is housed in the prestigious Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. The painting depicts a poignant scene from Homer's Odyssey, where Calypso mourns the departure of Ulysses, the heroic protagonist. The female figure exudes an air of melancholy as she reclines amidst a backdrop of dusk and sunset. Her drapery gracefully cascades around her nude form, adding to the ethereal ambiance. Lehmann skillfully captures Calypso's wistful expression and sorrowful demeanor as she gazes towards the horizon and sea. The coastal setting with rocky shores further enhances the classical atmosphere portrayed in this literary masterpiece. Through his brushstrokes, Lehmann brings to life both the emotional depth of Calypso's mourning and the timeless allure of Greek mythology. This painting serves as a testament to Lehmann's artistic prowess and his ability to convey complex emotions through visual storytelling. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are reminded of Homer's epic tale and its enduring impact on literature and art alike. It is no wonder that "Calypso" continues to captivate viewers with its evocative portrayal of love lost against a maritime backdrop.
