"Odysseus Returns Chryseis to Her Father" is a classical painting by the French artist Claude Lorrain, also known as Claude Gellée, who was active during the Baroque era, renowned for his landscape paintings that imbued classical and biblical subjects with a poetic quality. This particular work, created in 1644, is part of a series of paintings that depict scenes from Homer's epic poem, the Iliad. The painting illustrates the moment from the epic where Odysseus, the cunning Greek hero, returns Chryseis to her father, Chryses, a priest of Apollo, in order to appease the god and lift a plague that has befallen the Greek army.

Lorrain is celebrated for his mastery in the use of light and the creation of atmospheric effects that evoke a sense of harmony and idyllic beauty. In "Odysseus Returns Chryseis to Her Father," Lorrain's skill is evident in the delicate rendering of the dawn light as it bathes the scene in a warm glow, highlighting the figures and the landscape. The composition typically features a classical landscape that serves as a backdrop to the mythological subject, a hallmark of Lorrain's work that contributed to the development of landscape painting as a respected genre.

The painting is an exemplar of Lorrain's idealized landscapes, which often included classical architecture, pastoral figures, and serene natural elements, all working together to create a cohesive and tranquil scene. This work not only reflects Lorrain's artistic prowess but also provides insight into the cultural and intellectual interests of the 17th century, particularly the fascination with antiquity and the valorization of classical literature.
