EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, titled "Telemachus, in the Desert of Oasis, is consoled by Termosiris a Priest of Apollo" artist Charles Grignion transports us to the mythical world of Greek mythology. The print, dating back to 1774, is a plate from The Copper-Plate Magazine or A Monthly Treasure. The scene depicts Telemachus, a central character from Homer's epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey. Lost in the vast desert landscape known as Oasis, Telemachus finds solace in the presence of Termosiris, a wise priest devoted to Apollo. With his long beard flowing and wearing traditional religious garments, Termosiris gestures compassionately towards Telemachus while an attentive goat stands nearby. Grignion's meticulous attention to detail brings this ancient tale to life. From the intricate lines etched into each figure's body to the carefully rendered geographical features that surround them, every element contributes to the overall sense of mystery and spirituality conveyed in this artwork. This print serves as both a visual representation of Greek mythology and an exploration of human emotions such as consolation and guidance during times of hardship. It reminds us that even amidst desolation and uncertainty, there are always sources of comfort waiting to be discovered – whether they come in the form of gods or compassionate individuals like Termosiris himself. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the 18th century, we are reminded once again why art has been
