TÉLÉMAQUE ET MENTOR. Voyant son langoureux pupille, Brûler pour Eucharis d'un feu toujours nouveau; Mentor d'un coup de poing le flanqua raide à l'eau Pour lui faire abandonner l'ile. Unique quatrain de Mr. Duponchel.
Trustman, Benjamin A., Trustman, Julia M. · 1842
Mentor has just hit Telemachus to make him forget his love for Eucharis. During the 1840's, a quarrel between painters of the classic and romantic schools had fully flared up. Delacroix asked the "loaded" question: "Who is going to liberate us from the old Greeks?" Daumier succeeded to answer it his own way by showing historic personalities such as Hercules, Pygmalion or Agamemnon in absurd situations.
