ANGELIKA KAUFFMANN. The Sorrow of Telemachus

ANGELIKA KAUFFMANN. The Sorrow of Telemachus. Artist: Angelica Kauffmann (Swiss, Chur 1741-1807 Rome). Dimensions: 32 3/4 x 45 in. (83.2 x 114.3 cm). Date: 1783.
Angelica Kauffmann was born in Switzerland but made her reputation in Italy and England, where she was a founding member of the Royal Academy. In Rome she frequented the sophisticated intellectual circle of Winckelmann and Mengs.
These pictures were painted for Monsignor Onorato Caetani shortly after Kauffmann settled in Rome, in 1782. The subjects are taken from Fénelon's romance Télémaque, first published in 1699. In one picture Telemachus and his companion, Mentor, who have been washed ashore, are welcomed by Calypso and her nymphs. In the other, Calypso motions her nymphs to be silent when their songs about Telemachus's father Ulysses make him sorrowful.
