EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Penelope's unwavering patience and determination in Homer's Odyssey. Illustrated by Andre Bonamy, this piece is part of "Le retour d'Ulysse" by Jean Baptiste Coissac, dating back to 1914. In this image, we see Penelope diligently working on her loom, constantly undoing and redoing her tapestry while she awaits the return of her beloved Odysseus. The symbolism behind Penelope's weaving metier speaks volumes about her character. As a symbol of loyalty and devotion, she spends each day meticulously crafting and unraveling her tapestry as a way to postpone potential suitors who seek to replace Odysseus in his absence. Her commitment to waiting for him demonstrates not only her love but also an unyielding faith that he will eventually come home. Bonamy's illustration beautifully captures the ancient Greek atmosphere with its attention to detail and authenticity. The soft colors evoke a sense of tranquility while highlighting the intricate patterns woven into the fabric. This artwork serves as a reminder of the power of patience and resilience in times of uncertainty. It transports us back to ancient Greece, where mythology intertwines with human emotions. Through this image, we are invited into Penelope's world – a world filled with hope, longing, and unwavering dedication.
