Wow, thanks for this one. I love the contrast between the fanciful, surreal depictions of Odysseus' adventures versus his reunion with Penelope being rendered in a style more rooted in reality, like the difference between waking and dreaming.

The whole set is a novelty in Wyeth's output -- an attempt to loosen up and stylize. Many thanks for the splendid reproductions.
