The Meeting of Odysseus and Nausicaa — Jacques Jordaens

Jacques Jordaens. Painted c. 1630 - c. 1640.

This scene is derived from the Odyssey, recounting the adventures of the hero Odysseus on his journey back from Troy. Princess Nausicaa and her entourage are taken by surprise by the naked and exhausted Odysseus, who has just been shipwrecked. Nausicaa provides him with food and clothing before bringing him to her mother, the queen. Her parents help Odysseus return to Ithaca, his home.
