"Port Scene with the Departure of Ulysses from the Land of the Feaci" is a 1646 painting by the French artist Claude Lorrain, whose real name was Claude Gellée but is more commonly known by his pseudonym. This work is a quintessential example of Lorrain's mastery in depicting serene and idealized landscapes that blend classical antiquity with the natural beauty of the 17th-century countryside. The painting is a part of Lorrain's extensive oeuvre that primarily focuses on landscape painting, imbued with poetic interpretations of light and atmosphere.

The artwork illustrates the mythological narrative of Ulysses' departure from the land of the Phaeacians, as recounted in Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey." In the scene, Lorrain captures the moment of Ulysses' farewell as he sets sail for his homeland of Ithaca, after the benevolent Phaeacians have agreed to help him return. The painting is characterized by its harmonious composition, the delicate rendering of the morning light, and the tranquil maritime setting that conveys a sense of departure and the beginning of a new journey.

Lorrain's use of soft, golden light to articulate the forms and the reflective quality of the water showcases his skill in atmospheric perspective, a technique that would influence the development of landscape painting in Europe. The classical architecture and the figures populating the scene are rendered with meticulous detail, contributing to the overall sense of balance and order that is typical of Lorrain's work.

"Port Scene with the Departure of Ulysses from the Land of the Feaci" is held in high esteem not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its cultural and historical significance as a work that exemplifies the Baroque period's fascination with classical themes and the natural world. The painting remains an important piece in the study of Claude Lorrain's artistic legacy and the broader context of 17th-century European art.
