About the piece
Painted in 1722 by Jean Raoux, this oil on canvas depicts the scene from Homer's Odyssey where Telemachus recounts his travels to Calypso. The composition features elegantly draped figures illuminated against a shadowy grotto, with a glimpse of a stormy sea and a floral-entwined tree adding to the narrative's drama and beauty.
