Mentor gooit Telemachus van een rots en springt hem achterna 1719 - 1775

This watercolor drawing by Dutch artist Rienk Keyert, titled "Mentor gooit Telemachus van een rots en springt hem achterna," depicts a scene from Homer's *Odyssey*. It portrays the moment Mentor, disguised as the goddess Athena, throws Telemachus off a cliff into the sea, before diving in after him. This dramatic scene, filled with turbulent waves and dramatic movement, showcases Keyert's skill in portraying the dynamism of classical mythology. The drawing, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Keyert’s artistic talent and his fascination with ancient Greek literature.
