Description

A lithograph done by Joseph Mugnaini in 1953, working with the California Master Printer, lithographer Lynton Kistler. From a series of mythological themes done in editions of 20. This impression is accompanied by an 'authentication' from Kistler and signed by Mugnaini.

Mugnaini began his long-time collaboration with author Ray Bradbury in 1952, during which time he interpreted and illustrated many of Bradbury's books, including "Fahrenheit 451" through the "Martian Chronicles".

Ulysses was the legendary Greek hero, Odysseus, who's wanderings during the Trojan War and the recovery of his kingdom are central themes of Homer‘s Odyssey. Odysseus is portrayed as a man of outstanding wisdom and shrewdness, eloquence, courage, and endurance. He accomplished the capture of Troy with a wooden horse and outwitted and blinded Polyphemus, the cyclops.
