''Circe and the Companions of Ulysses'' is a notable painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, better known as Parmigianino, created circa 1532. The artwork is a fresco, which was a common medium during the Italian Renaissance, and it is housed in the National Gallery in London. The painting depicts a scene from Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey, wherein the enchantress Circe transforms the companions of the hero Ulysses (also known as Odysseus) into animals.

In the painting, Parmigianino illustrates his mastery of Mannerist style, characterized by elongated figures, unusual complex poses, and a subtle yet emotionally charged atmosphere. Circe is portrayed at the center of the composition, exuding an aura of control and seduction, as she wields her magical staff. Around her, the distorted forms of Ulysses' men, caught in the act of transformation, exhibit a blend of human and animal features, showcasing Parmigianino's skillful and imaginative interpretation of the mythological subject.

The work is significant for its representation of Mannerist aesthetics and its influence on the development of Italian Renaissance art. Parmigianino's use of color, his delicate handling of the fresco medium, and the dynamic composition contribute to the painting's enduring reputation as a masterpiece of the period. ''Circe and the Companions of Ulysses'' continues to be studied for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of one of classical mythology's most captivating episodes.
