"Aristotle and Phyllis" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Hans Baldung Grien, created circa 1515. This woodcut, part of a series, illustrates a popular medieval legend that became a common theme in Renaissance art. The story depicts the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle being humiliated by Phyllis, the mistress of his student, Alexander the Great. According to the tale, Phyllis seduces Aristotle, convincing him to let her ride on his back like a horse, demonstrating the triumph of passion over reason.

Hans Baldung Grien, a pupil of Albrecht Dürer, was known for his exploration of human character and morality through art. In this work, he captures the moment of Aristotle's degradation with a blend of eroticism and moral lesson, reflecting the complex human experiences of desire and intellect. The woodcut is characterized by its detailed line work and dynamic composition, which were hallmarks of Baldung's style.

"Aristotle and Phyllis" has been interpreted by art historians as not only a representation of a popular story but also as a commentary on the power dynamics between men and women, and the vulnerabilities of even the wisest individuals to human folly. The artwork remains an important example of Northern Renaissance art and continues to be studied for its thematic depth and technical mastery. It is held in various collections and has been exhibited in several prominent museums, attesting to its enduring significance in the history of art.
