"Ulysses Killing The Suitors Of Penelope" is a notable oil painting by the French artist Antoine-Jean Gros, completed in 1812. This work of art is inspired by the epic climax of Homer's "Odyssey," where the Greek hero Odysseus (Ulysses in Latin) returns home after a long absence to find his palace overrun with suitors vying for the hand of his wife, Penelope. In a dramatic act of retribution, Ulysses, with the help of his son Telemachus and two loyal servants, slays the suitors who have dishonored his household and attempted to usurp his place.

Gros, a student of Jacques-Louis David and a prominent figure in French Romantic painting, is known for his historical and neoclassical themes. In this painting, he combines his mastery of classical form with the dynamic energy characteristic of the Romantic movement. The composition captures the moment of Ulysses' vengeance with a vivid portrayal of the chaos and violence of the scene. The use of dramatic lighting and intense emotion reflects Gros's ability to convey the psychological intensity of the narrative.

The painting is significant for its representation of a pivotal moment in Western literature and for its artistic interpretation that bridges neoclassical tradition and emerging Romantic sensibilities. "Ulysses Killing The Suitors Of Penelope" is an example of Gros's skill in historical painting and his contribution to the evolution of French art in the early 19th century. The work is housed in a notable museum collection, offering a testament to the enduring legacy of classical mythology and its influence on European art.
