Relief, Il mito di Ulisse - 18 cm - Plaster

Questo raffinato bassorilievo in gesso bianco patinato antico, dalle dimensioni di 68x18 cm, raffigura una scena ispirata al mito di Ulisse, uno dei racconti più celebri della mitologia greca, tramandato nell'Odissea di Omero. Ulisse, re di Itaca, è noto per la sua astuzia e per il lungo viaggio che dovette affrontare per tornare in patria dopo la guerra di Troia. Il suo viaggio fu costellato di prove e incontri straordinari: l’inganno del cavallo di Troia, la fuga dal ciclope Polifemo, il canto ammaliante delle sirene, l’inganno della maga Circe e la discesa negli inferi alla ricerca di risposte sul proprio destino. Ogni episodio rappresenta un simbolo di intelligenza, resistenza e lotta contro il fato. L’opera è finemente lavorata, con un’elegante composizione che restituisce movimento ed espressività ai personaggi scolpiti. La qualità della patinatura e la cura dei dettagli evocano la grazia e la raffinatezza delle antiche opere greche, rendendola perfetta per l’arredo di ambienti dallo stile classico e sofisticato. Da segnalare qualche difetto del gesso, come si evince in foto. Fare in ogni caso, riferimento alle foto che sono parte integrante della descrizione, in quanto ricevete esattamente l’oggetto che state osservando. Spedizione sicura con imballaggio accurato per garantire la perfetta conservazione dell’opera durante il trasporto.

Relief, Il mito di Ulisse - 18 cm - Plaster

This refined bas-relief in antique patinated white plaster, measuring 68x18 cm, depicts a scene inspired by the myth of Ulysses, one of the most famous tales of Greek mythology, passed down in Homer's Odyssey.

Ulysses, king of Ithaca, is known for his cunning and for the long journey he had to face to return home after the Trojan War. His journey was filled with trials and extraordinary encounters: the deception of the Trojan horse, the escape from the Cyclops Polyphemus, the enchanting song of the sirens, the trickery of the sorceress Circe, and the descent into the underworld in search of answers about his fate. Each episode represents a symbol of intelligence, resilience, and struggle against fate.

The work is finely crafted, with an elegant composition that gives movement and expressiveness to the sculpted characters. The quality of the finish and attention to detail evoke the grace and refinement of ancient Greek works, making it perfect for furnishing spaces with a classic and sophisticated style.

Some defects of the plaster are notable, as can be seen in the photo. In any case, refer to the photos that are an integral part of the description, as you will receive exactly the item you are observing.

Safe shipping with careful packaging to ensure the perfect preservation of the work during transportation.
