Les travavx d'Vlysse
Les travaux d'Vlysse is a 1633 Paris book of engravings by Theodoor van Thulden, published by Melchior Tavernier, reproducing the Odyssey mural scenes painted by Primaticcio at Fontainebleau for a courtly audience. The prints are dense, crisp black-and-white engravings with heavy crosshatching, classical draped figures, columns and interiors, and clear contrasts between light and shadow that a designer could borrow for narrative compositions, sculptural poses, or hatching-based textures.
