"The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis(1818)", Jacques-Louis David

About the Artwork

“The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis” by Jacques-Louis David, painted in 1818, is a captivating masterpiece that weaves together love, longing, and classical mythology. This exquisite print, now housed in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California, transports us to a poignant moment—a farewell between two true lovers. Telemachus, son of Penelope and Odysseus, and Eucharis, a nymph of the goddess Calypso, share an intense physical passion that remains pure and chaste, expressing a higher, spiritual love. David’s brushwork captures their courtly affection, their yearning, and their longing for self-understanding. Inspired by François Fénelon’s novel Les Aventures de Télémaque, which draws from Homer’s Odyssey, this painting invites viewers to contemplate life’s journey, love’s sweet sorrow, and the enduring allure of myth.
