EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Telemachus accompanied by Mentor, relates his Adventures to Calypso" we are transported into the realm of Greek mythology. Created in 1774 by artist J Collyer for The Copper-Plate Magazine or A Monthly Treasure, this engraving beautifully captures a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey. The scene depicts Telemachus, son of Odysseus, as he recounts his thrilling adventures to the enchanting nymph Calypso. With great passion and animated gestures, Telemachus captivates his audience while holding a lyre - a symbol of music and storytelling. Mentor stands beside him as a wise guide and mentor figure. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of mystery and timelessness to the image, transporting us back to the 18th century when it was created. This artwork showcases not only artistic skill but also highlights the enduring power of literature throughout history. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the timeless allure of storytelling and its ability to transport us into fantastical realms filled with adventure. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these ancient tales continue to inspire our imagination and captivate our hearts.
