"The Wedding of Ulysses and Penelope" is an illustration by Angelo Monticelli, featured in the work "Le Costume Ancien ou Moderne" by Giulio Ferrario. This illustration is part of a larger historical and ethnographic study that explores the customs, fashion, and dress of different periods and regions. Ferrario's work, originally published in the early 19th century, is a comprehensive collection that spans across various cultures and eras, providing insights into the attire and social customs of the past.

Angelo Monticelli, an Italian artist, contributed to Ferrario's ambitious project with his depiction of the wedding of the mythical Greek hero Ulysses (Odysseus) and his faithful wife Penelope. This scene captures the moment of union and celebration from Homer's epic, "The Odyssey," after Ulysses's long journey and the trials both he and Penelope endured during his absence. Monticelli's illustration is notable for its attention to detail and its attempt to reconstruct ancient Greek clothing and ceremony based on the scholarship of the time.

The illustration is characterized by its classical composition and the use of vibrant colors, which were typical of the neoclassical aesthetic that influenced art and design during the period in which Monticelli worked. The depiction not only serves as an artistic interpretation of a legendary literary episode but also reflects the 19th-century European interest in classical antiquity and the desire to understand the historical context of such narratives through visual means.

"The Wedding of Ulysses and Penelope" stands as a testament to the collaboration between artists and scholars in the 19th century, aiming to educate and inspire through the fusion of art, literature, and history. As part of "Le Costume Ancien ou Moderne," this illustration contributes to the broader cultural and educational objectives of Ferrario's work, which sought to document and disseminate knowledge of world costumes and customs to a European audience increasingly fascinated by the diversity of global cultures and the richness of ancient civilizations.
