EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Homere, the renowned Greek poet of the late 8th century BC, who is best known as the author of "The Iliad". Captured by a French School artist in the 19th century, this lithograph measures 10.5x6.5 cm and belongs to a series of advertising chromolithographs for Chocolat Guerin-Boutron titled "Celebrate Authors - Main Works". Homere's contribution to literature cannot be overstated; his epic poem "The Iliad" remains one of the most influential works in Western literature. Through vivid storytelling and poetic mastery, Homere immortalized the Trojan War and its heroes such as Achilles and Hector. In this illustration by A© Jean Duvallon, we see Homere depicted with great reverence. His wise eyes reflect years of contemplation and creativity while his flowing beard symbolizes wisdom acquired through time. The artist skillfully captures Homere's aura of intellectual prowess that has captivated readers for centuries. It is fascinating to observe how even in the late 19th century, artists like Ferdinand Champenois were inspired by ancient Greek culture and sought to honor literary giants like Homere through their craft. This lithograph serves as a testament to both artistic talent and admiration for timeless literary figures. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, let us remember that it represents not only an exceptional piece of art but also pays homage to an extraordinary poet whose words continue to resonate with audiences across
