"Penelope" is a distinguished painting by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Anthony Frederick Sandys, completed in 1864. This artwork exemplifies Sandys' meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to the Pre-Raphaelite principles of vivid realism and elaborate symbolism. The painting portrays Penelope, a character from Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey," who is renowned for her fidelity and patience during her husband Odysseus' prolonged absence following the Trojan War.

In this evocative depiction, Sandys captures Penelope in a moment of introspection and quiet strength. She is shown seated, engaged in the act of weaving, which is a significant element of her story. According to the myth, Penelope weaves a shroud by day and unravels it by night to delay her suitors, remaining faithful to Odysseus. Sandys' rendering of the fabric and textures in the painting is exceptionally detailed, reflecting his skill in capturing the tactile qualities of different materials.

The composition of "Penelope" is marked by its rich color palette and the use of intricate patterns, which are characteristic of Sandys' work. The background features a tapestry-like design, adding depth and context to the scene. Penelope's attire and the surrounding elements are imbued with symbolic meaning, emphasizing themes of loyalty, perseverance, and the passage of time.

Sandys' "Penelope" is celebrated not only for its technical excellence but also for its emotional depth and narrative power. The painting is a testament to Sandys' ability to blend classical themes with the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic, creating a work that resonates with both historical and contemporary audiences. Today, "Penelope" is regarded as one of Sandys' masterpieces, showcasing his talent and his contribution to the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
