About the piece
In this 1869 masterpiece, Henri Lehmann captures the mythic sorrow of the nymph Calypso on her island, Ogygia. Her luminous, ivory skin and flowing hair are set against the brooding textures of dark rocks and a turbulent, silver-grey sea, creating a powerful contrast between delicate beauty and the untamed natural world.
