"The Return of Odysseus" (1509) is a notable fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Bernardino di Betto, commonly known as Pinturicchio. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes created by Pinturicchio in the Piccolomini Library within the Duomo di Siena, Italy. The library, commissioned by Cardinal Francesco Piccolomini (later Pope Pius III), was intended to house the extensive book collection of his uncle, Pope Pius II, and to celebrate the Piccolomini family's achievements.

Pinturicchio, renowned for his intricate and detailed style, was among the most celebrated painters of his time. His work is characterized by its vivid colors, elaborate decoration, and the incorporation of architectural elements that create a sense of depth and perspective. "The Return of Odysseus" stands out within the Piccolomini Library frescoes for its dynamic composition and the emotional intensity of its scenes, depicting the moment of Odysseus's return to Ithaca and his reunion with his wife, Penelope.

The fresco showcases Pinturicchio's mastery in blending classical themes with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. By choosing the story of Odysseus, Pinturicchio connects the humanist interest in Greek and Roman antiquity with the contemporary themes of exploration and discovery that were prominent during the Renaissance. The work is a testament to the artist's ability to convey complex narratives through visual art, making it a significant example of Renaissance painting.

"The Return of Odysseus" not only exemplifies Pinturicchio's skill and creativity but also reflects the broader cultural and artistic trends of the period. It remains an important piece for understanding the development of narrative fresco painting in the Renaissance, as well as the enduring appeal of classical mythology in European art.
