Marc Chagall (Aft.) Offset Color Lithograph on Paper, Athena & Odysseus
Radiant with mythological reverie and dreamlike whimsy, Athena Puts Odysseus to Sleep is a captivating offset color lithograph after Marc Chagall from his celebrated series Homer's Odyssey. The composition captures a tender, poetic moment from the epic: the goddess Athena watches over the sleeping Odysseus, protector and muse to the weary hero. Set against a backdrop of lush green fields and deep blue seas, the scene unfolds in a visual symphony of soft pastels and bold linework, with mythical figures drifting through the frame, a winged cherub, an ethereal horse, and the iconic reclining hero. This lithograph exemplifies Chagall's masterful ability to transform ancient tales into emotional dreamscapes. His use of color and fluid form bridges the timelessness of myth with the surreal lyricism of modern art. Rich with motion and allegory, it is a quintessential example of Chagall's literary illustrations. Presented in an ornate gold and ebony frame with a wide archival mat and elegant inner fillet, this work is ready for display and admiration.
