"Endymion Sleeping" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Giovanni Battista Cima da Conegliano, created circa 1505-1510. This painting is a representation of the mythological figure Endymion, a handsome shepherd or hunter beloved by the moon goddess Selene in Greek mythology. According to the myth, Selene asked Zeus to grant Endymion eternal youth combined with eternal sleep so that he would remain forever beautiful, and she could visit him every night.

Cima da Conegliano's depiction of this mythological subject is characterized by the serene and idyllic landscape that typifies many of his works. The painting portrays the youthful Endymion in a state of repose, often interpreted as a symbol of beauty, peace, and eternal life. The figure is usually shown lying on the ground, embodying the ideal of male beauty of the period, with the landscape around him suggesting the pastoral and tranquil environment where the myth is set.

The work is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allows for the subtle gradations of light and color that enhance the dreamlike quality of the scene. Cima da Conegliano's mastery of color and light is evident in the way he captures the effects of the moonlight on Endymion's form and the surrounding landscape.

"Endymion Sleeping" reflects the humanist interests of the Renaissance in classical antiquity and its myths, as well as the period's emphasis on the beauty of the natural world and the human form. The painting is a testament to Cima da Conegliano's skill as a painter and his ability to imbue his works with both poetic grace and a sense of timeless tranquility.

The painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is appreciated for its artistic and historical significance. As a work by Cima da Conegliano, it contributes to our understanding of the Venetian school of painting and the broader context of Renaissance art.
