"Calypso and Ulysses" is a notable work by Swiss neoclassical painter Angelica Kauffmann, created in 1782. The painting is an oil on canvas and depicts a scene from Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey, capturing the moment when the nymph Calypso is forced by the gods to let go of her love, Ulysses (Odysseus), allowing him to continue his journey back to Ithaca and to his wife, Penelope.

Kauffmann was one of the most prominent female artists of her time and a key figure in the Neoclassical movement, which sought to emulate the arts of ancient Greece and Rome. Her works often featured themes from classical literature and mythology, and "Calypso and Ulysses" is a prime example of her engagement with these subjects. The painting is characterized by its emotional intensity, the elegant depiction of the figures, and the use of soft, harmonious colors that were typical of Kauffmann's style.

The artwork reflects the 18th-century Enlightenment values of reason and the moral underpinnings found in classical stories. Kauffmann's portrayal of Calypso and Ulysses is not just a literal representation of the myth but also an exploration of the themes of love, loss, and the human condition. The painting is significant for its artistic merit as well as its contribution to the understanding of female artists' roles in the predominantly male-dominated art world of the time.

"Calypso and Ulysses" remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Angelica Kauffmann and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place in the context of 18th-century art history. The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in several museums, contributing to the ongoing appreciation and scholarly discussion of Kauffmann's work.
