In this painting Cecco Bravo illustrates an episode from ancient history, taken from Book VI of Homer&#39;s Odyssey, which represents the moment when Ulysses turns down the proposal of King Alcinous and Queen Arete to marry their daughter Nausicaa. It can be noted that Cecco&#39;s style contains both Florentine and Venetian elements.
