"Ulysse et Polyphème" (1896) is a notable painting by Swiss symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin, depicting a scene from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey." This work illustrates the dramatic encounter between the Greek hero Odysseus (Ulysses) and the Cyclops Polyphemus, a moment rich in tension and narrative depth. Böcklin, known for his mythological and fantastical subjects, brings to life the cunning escape of Odysseus and his men from the giant's cave, a testament to human wit triumphing over brute strength.

The painting is executed in Böcklin's distinctive style, characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a moody, atmospheric quality that enhances the mythological theme. The use of chiaroscuro and strong contrasts between light and shadow contribute to the dramatic effect, while the carefully composed figures and the landscape reflect Böcklin's interest in classical antiquity and Renaissance art. "Ulysse et Polyphème" is a prime example of Böcklin's ability to fuse the real with the surreal, inviting viewers into a world where myth becomes palpable.

As a part of Böcklin's oeuvre, "Ulysse et Polyphème" holds a place in the broader context of Symbolist art, where artists sought to express ideas and emotions through powerful symbols and narratives rather than direct representation. The painting not only captures a pivotal moment in one of the Western canon's foundational texts but also reflects the late 19th-century fascination with the psychological and mystical dimensions of human experience.

"Ulysse et Polyphème" is housed in a prominent art collection, and its influence extends beyond the realm of fine art, having inspired discussions in the fields of literature, psychology, and cultural studies. The painting remains an important work for scholars and enthusiasts of Böcklin's art, Symbolism, and the enduring power of classical mythology in visual culture.
