Odysseus in the Land of the Dead, N. C. Wyeth Odyssey Framed Print (1929)
Odysseus goes down among the dead for directions and finds old comrades, unfinished grief and his own mother. Even the cleverest talker alive cannot make that meeting easier.
For someone who has gone a long way from home and come back understanding what home had lost.
Ready to hang: an 8 × 10 in framed print in a white or black wood frame. At home in a quiet room or reading corner, or as a gift for someone carrying a loss.
