About the Item
This exceptional lithograph after Marc Chagall (1887–1985), titled Athene führt das Schiff des Telemachos (Athena Guides the Ship of Telemachus), originates from the distinguished German edition of Homer’s Die Odyssee (The Odyssey). Published in 1989 by Daco-Verlag Günter Bläse, Stuttgart, and printed by Lichtdruck AG, Zürich, Dielsdorf, the work represents a refined second edition of Chagall’s original lithographs created for the 1974–75 French edition of L’Odyssée. This poetic composition depicts the goddess Athena guiding Telemachus’s ship through the open sea, symbolizing divine wisdom, protection, and destiny — themes central to Homer’s epic and beautifully interpreted through Chagall’s radiant, transcendent imagery.
Printed on 250 g/m² Bütten Papierwerke Miliani AG, Fabriano paper, measuring 14.88 x 11.69 inches (37.8 x 29.7 cm), Athene führt das Schiff des Telemachos (Athena Guides the Ship of Telemachus) captures Chagall’s deep reverence for mythic storytelling and his signature use of color to convey spiritual movement and emotion. Produced with the authorization of Vava Chagall, this edition stands as a timeless tribute to Chagall’s vision of faith, guidance, and transformation within classical mythology.

About the artist:
Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was a Russian-French modernist painter whose visionary style blended Cubism, Fauvism, and Surrealism with deeply personal symbolism drawn from Jewish folklore, biblical themes, and village life. Born in Vitebsk, Belarus, and later active in Paris, Chagall developed a poetic visual language marked by floating figures, vibrant color, and dreamlike compositions that transcend time and place. His work reflects a synthesis of memory, spirituality, and emotion, positioning him as one of the most expressive and influential artists of the twentieth century.
Chagall’s paintings, stained glass, and prints are housed in major institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, and the Chagall Museum in Nice. Revered for his fusion of imagination and modernist innovation, his art continues to captivate collectors worldwide.
The highest auction price for a Chagall artwork is USD 28,453,000, achieved by Les Amoureux (1928) at Sotheby’s New York in 2017.
