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.
