EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ulysses on the Island of the Goddess Calypso, 1634" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by Willem Basse in the 17th century, this etching and engraving on laid paper beautifully captures a pivotal moment in Homer's epic tale, The Odyssey. In this scene, Ulysses (also known as Odysseus) finds himself stranded on the island of Calypso after his long journey home from the Trojan War. Surrounded by danger and peril, Ulysses is seen barefoot with an axe in hand at a shipyard. He is engaged in boat building - a profession that requires skill and determination. The image portrays both male and female figures working alongside each other. This depiction challenges traditional gender roles prevalent during that era. It highlights how women were not only present but actively involved in various occupations. Basse's attention to detail brings life to every aspect of this artwork - from the intricately engraved tools scattered around to the intense expressions worn by those engaged in their respective tasks. Through his masterful technique, he successfully conveys a sense of urgency mixed with hope as Ulysses strives to escape his captivity and return home. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this piece serves as a testament to Basse's artistic prowess while offering viewers an opportunity to delve into ancient mythology through visual storytelling.
