"Ulysse et Polyphème" (1896) is a notable painting by the Swiss symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin, who is renowned for his evocative and mythological works. This painting depicts a scene from Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey, in which the Greek hero Odysseus (Ulysses in Latin) encounters the Cyclops Polyphemus. Böcklin's interpretation of the mythological encounter is a testament to his fascination with the fantastical and his ability to infuse his work with a sense of narrative drama.

In the painting, Böcklin captures the moment of tension as Odysseus and his men blind the giant Polyphemus, who is shown reeling in pain and anger. The composition is rich with symbolism and the use of light and shadow, which was characteristic of Böcklin's symbolist approach. The artist's choice of colors and his attention to detail in the figures and the landscape contribute to the overall atmosphere of the scene.

"Ulysse et Polyphème" is part of Böcklin's larger body of work that often explored themes from classical antiquity and mythology, reflecting the 19th-century fascination with these subjects. His paintings are known for their dreamlike quality and their ability to transport viewers to a world of myth and legend. This particular work is an example of Böcklin's skill in blending the real with the surreal, and it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to symbolist art.

The painting is held in high regard not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural significance, as it reflects the zeitgeist of the late 19th century, a period marked by a resurgence of interest in mythological and fantastical themes as a means of exploring the human psyche and the mysteries of existence. "Ulysse et Polyphème" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Arnold Böcklin and in the history of symbolist art.
