This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Fantastic Cave Odysseus & Calypso designed from a painting by Jan Brueghel the Elder shows a series of caves along the seashore that seem to sparkle as if covered with jewels. In Greek mythology, this is supposedly where Calypso is holding Odysseus captive to be her immortal lover. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
