EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting moment of Ulysses meeting Nausicaa, as depicted in Andrew Lang's Tales of the Greek Seas. Painted by Henry Justice Ford in 1926, this ink on paper artwork beautifully captures the essence of this legendary encounter. Ulysses, a renowned hero and protagonist of Homer's epic poem The Odyssey, finds himself shipwrecked and seeking refuge. Hidden among lush vegetation, he stumbles upon Nausicaa, the ethereal daughter of King Alcinous. Bathing near a tranquil riverbank with her attendants, she exudes grace and beauty that captivates even the most stoic hearts. In this illustration, Ford masterfully portrays Nausicaa as a Phaeacian princess draped in delicate garments that accentuate her elegance. Her innocence is juxtaposed against Ulysses' rugged appearance after enduring countless trials during his long journey home. The artist skillfully captures their initial encounter; their gazes meet for the first time amidst nature's serene backdrop. Ulysses' vulnerability is palpable as he stands before Nausicaa while hiding his nakedness behind foliage - an act symbolizing both humility and respect. This exquisite portrayal not only pays homage to Greek mythology but also highlights themes such as bravery, fate, and unexpected connections formed through adversity. It transports viewers into a world where mortals intertwine with gods and destiny weaves its intricate tapestry. As part of The
