19th Century Mythology Etching – Leukothea Appears to Odysseus – Hans Meyer after Friedrich Preller This beautiful etching was created by award winning German artist Hans Meyer (1846–1919) in 1881 after a painting by Friedrich Preller (1804–1878). The original painting is held by the Art Gallery of Munich. It depicts the goddess Leukothea emerging from the stormy sea before a desperate Odysseus.
