"Emma Hart as Circe" is a notable painting by the 18th-century British portrait painter George Romney. Created in the 1780s, this artwork is a testament to the painter's fascination with Emma Hart, who would later become Lady Hamilton, and his interest in classical themes and mythology. The painting depicts Hart, one of Romney's favorite muses, in the guise of the enchantress Circe from Greek mythology.

The painting showcases Romney's skill in capturing the allure and charisma of his sitter, while also reflecting the neoclassical tastes of the period. Emma Hart, known for her beauty and later her role as Lord Nelson's mistress, is portrayed with an air of confident seduction, embodying the character of Circe, who is famed for her ability to bewitch and transform men into animals in Homer's "Odyssey."

Romney's depiction of Hart as Circe is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which serves to highlight her features and the sensuous drapery of her clothing. The choice to represent Hart as a powerful mythological figure speaks to the cultural and artistic milieu of the time, where personal identities were often intertwined with classical allegories and symbolism.

"Emma Hart as Circe" is not only a representation of Romney's artistic prowess but also an illustration of the complex relationship between artist and muse. The painting is a significant work within Romney's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of 18th-century British portraiture, the representation of women in art, and the neoclassical revival that influenced many artists of the era.
