EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring fresco titled "Ulysses Blinding Polyphemus the Cyclops". Created by Pellegrino Tibaldi, an Italian artist known for his exceptional talent, this frieze represents scenes from the legendary quests of Ulysses. The artwork can be found in Palazzo dell'Universita in Bologna, Italy. In this particular scene, we witness the heroic Greek soldier Ulysses confronting the fearsome Cyclops named Polyphemus. With great strength and determination, Ulysses blinds Polyphemus using a sharp object as depicted in Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey". The composition is filled with intense emotions and dramatic tension. The colossal size of Polyphemus dominates the frame while Ulysses appears minuscule yet resolute against this formidable foe. Surrounding them are haunting reminders of previous victims - skeletons scattered among giant bones. Tibaldi's masterful brushwork brings life to every detail - from the texture of skeletal remains to the expression on each character's face. This monochromatic rendition adds depth and enhances the overall impact of this powerful moment. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece, they are transported into a world where heroes clash with mythical creatures and bravery knows no bounds. It serves as a testament to human resilience and resourcefulness in overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this timeless masterpiece through their lens, allowing art
