Homer: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Flameng, Léopold, 1831-1911 · [ca. 1750–1920]

Central image of Homer walking along a hill or coastline with the aid of a boy and a walking stick. A harp is slung over his shoulder and he is bare-chested with a long cloth around his waist. The image is surrounded by a vignette of other scenes including: people with raised glasses gathered around a man who appears to be giving a toast, several dozen bodies either rising up or falling from the heavens, a stack of books, and a convoy with a train of quills for writing.
