"Calypso calling heaven and earth to witness her sincere affection to Ulysses" is a notable work by Angelica Kauffmann, a Swiss neoclassical painter who was active in the late 18th century. Kauffmann was one of the most prominent and influential female artists of her time, and her work often reflected themes from classical literature, mythology, and historical subjects. This particular painting captures a poignant moment from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey," wherein the nymph Calypso, having fallen deeply in love with the hero Ulysses (Odysseus), is compelled by the gods to let him leave her island and return to his wife Penelope in Ithaca.

In the painting, Kauffmann masterfully portrays the emotional intensity of the scene, with Calypso's expression and posture conveying her profound sorrow and reluctant acceptance of the divine decree. The use of classical iconography and composition reflects Kauffmann's adherence to the principles of Neoclassicism, which emphasized clarity, order, and ideal beauty. The artwork serves as an exemplar of Kauffmann's skill in rendering the subtleties of human emotion while adhering to the aesthetic ideals of her time.

As a member of the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Roman Accademia di San Luca, Kauffmann's contributions to the art world were significant, and her paintings were widely celebrated for their elegance and narrative depth. "Calypso calling heaven and earth to witness her sincere affection to Ulysses" remains an important piece within Kauffmann's oeuvre, exemplifying her ability to fuse the grandeur of classical subjects with the sensitivity of the emerging Romantic sensibility.
