The Raft of Odysseus, N. C. Wyeth Odyssey Framed Print (1929)
After years ashore, Odysseus builds a raft and sets out for home. Then Poseidon notices, and the sea rises to meet him at full scale.
For someone who has survived a few journeys of his own: resourceful, stubborn and out of his depth, and still afloat.
Ready to hang: an 8 × 10 in framed print in a white or black wood frame. At home in a study or hallway, or as a gift for a father, a sailor or anyone who has weathered a storm.
