Narbal neemt afscheid van Telemachus 1734

"Narbal neemt afscheid van Telemachus" is an etching by Philip van Gunst created in 1734. It depicts a scene from Homer's *Odyssey*, where the Trojan prince Telemachus bids farewell to his companion Narbal, a captain from Tyre, as he boards a ship to escape the clutches of King Pigmalion of Tyre. The composition is dynamic, with figures in motion, and the scene is rendered in detail, showcasing van Gunst's mastery of etching. The etching is a fine example of the Dutch Baroque style, characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, and its emphasis on storytelling. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
