This painting is by Henri Lehmann. The title is Calypso and it's based on a character from Homer's "Odyssey." There are hundreds of works of art that I feel reveal aspects of me. Maybe that's why I love art. I suppose that sounds narcissistic but I have a feeling that all art lovers feel that way. After all, I don't think people love art simply because it is beautiful. Many works of art are not beautiful at all. This particular painting is beautiful to look at but it also represents one of the most moving characters in all of literature. Calypso is destined to live alone on an island and knows love only for a brief time when Odysseus is stranded with her. When Odysseus leaves, she is heartbroken and it makes you wonder if it would have been better for her if Odysseus had never come at all.
