"Ulysse et Polyphème" is a painting by the Swiss symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin, created in 1896. This artwork is one of Böcklin's interpretations of the encounter between Odysseus (Ulysses) and the Cyclops Polyphemus, a mythological episode narrated in Homer's "Odyssey." Böcklin, known for his mythological and fantastical subjects, often drew upon classical antiquity for inspiration, infusing it with a dreamlike and sometimes eerie atmosphere.

The painting depicts the dramatic moment when Odysseus and his men blind the Cyclops Polyphemus to escape from his cave. Böcklin's representation is notable for its dynamic composition and the vivid contrast between the cunning hero and the brutish, monstrous giant. The use of light and shadow, as well as the intense expressions and gestures of the figures, heighten the tension of the scene.

"Ulysse et Polyphème" reflects Böcklin's mastery in portraying mythological narratives with a unique blend of realism and symbolism. His work is characterized by a rich palette, meticulous attention to detail, and a fascination with themes of nature, death, and the supernatural. This painting is part of Böcklin's broader oeuvre, which includes other famous works such as "The Isle of the Dead" and "The Plague."

As a significant piece in Böcklin's body of work, "Ulysse et Polyphème" continues to be studied for its contribution to symbolist art and its interpretation of ancient myths through a late 19th-century lens. The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Böcklin's impact on modern art and his role in the symbolist movement.
