Montegrappa Odyssey
A wonderful work made with the lost-wax casting technique tells the journey of the greatest of heroes, while our artisans immerse themselves in one of the most extraordinary stories ever told. For over 2,700 years, the Homeric poems of ancient Greece served as parables about human struggle and triumph, defining the pattern of modern storytelling. We explore the Odyssey in stunning detail, using ancient craft techniques and precious metals to satisfy the gods.
The "Greek" motif and vermeil frame the episodes of Ulysses' trial return from the Trojan War. Small mosaic friezes tell the drama of one of the most compelling stories of Western culture.
The Corinthian-style decorations, the most ornamental architectural order in Greece, are recreated in miniature and with micro-sculpted details, giving life to acanthus leaves and volutes of spectacular definition.
Three architectural orders. Three gods. Our trilogy of models, entirely handmade, promises to reveal the Odyssey in its full glory. Zeus is the god of sky and thunder, punisher and protector of Odysseus' epic journey.
Monumental installation. Ulysses' most famous creation becomes a showcase for the 266-piece fountain pen and rollerball editions – which evoke the isopsemic value of the word "Ελλάς" (Greece), according to the ancient Greek numerological system.
