EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Penelope, a mythological figure from ancient Greece. Created in the late 19th century by Pierre Jules Cavelier, this bronze sculpture showcases Penelope in a moment of peaceful slumber. Seated with her legs crossed, Penelope rests on a comfortable chair while holding a spindle and wool. The neoclassical style of the artwork adds an air of elegance to this mythological scene. As she sleeps, her serene expression reflects both tranquility and weariness from her long wait for her husband's return. Penelope is known for her unwavering faithfulness to Odysseus during his absence at war. She cleverly weaves and unravels a burial shroud for her father-in-law as an excuse to delay remarriage until Odysseus' return. This image beautifully captures the essence of Penelope's dedication and patience. The artist skillfully portrays Penelope's beauty through delicate details such as flowing drapery and graceful features. Cast by Barbedienne in Paris, this bronze sculpture exemplifies fine craftsmanship. Whether you are drawn to mythology or appreciate neoclassical art, this print offers a glimpse into the world of ancient legends.
