A scene from the dramatic antique Telemachus wallpaper that graces the Hermitage mansion's palatial Entrance Hall is featured in stunning color and detail on a generously sized cof fee mug.

Landscape of Telemachus on the Island of Calypso: The scenic wallpaper displayed in the Entrance Hall of the Hermitage Mansion, titled "Paysage de Telemaque dans I'ile de Calypso" (Landscape of Telemachus on the Island of Calypso) is adapted from Francois Fenelon's 1699 book "Les aventures de Telemaque, fils d'Ulysse" (The Adventures of Telemachus, son of Ulysses). The novel was inspired by Homer's "Odyssey" and details Telemachus' encounters and lessons learned while in search of his father. Show more
