"Phyllis and Aristotle" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Hans Baldung Grien, created in the early 16th century. This artwork is a woodcut that depicts a popular medieval legend involving the philosopher Aristotle and Phyllis, the mistress of Alexander the Great. The narrative illustrates a moral lesson about the power of love and the dangers of lust, showcasing Aristotle's humiliation as he is ridden like a horse by Phyllis, symbolizing the triumph of passion over reason.

Hans Baldung Grien (1484/85 – 1545), a pupil of the famed Albrecht Dürer, was known for his exploration of human character and morality through art. His works often featured themes of witchcraft, mythology, and allegory, and "Phyllis and Aristotle" is no exception. The woodcut is characterized by its detailed line work and expressive figures, which was typical of Baldung's style and the Northern Renaissance period.

The image of Phyllis and Aristotle has been interpreted in various ways by art historians, with some viewing it as a cautionary tale warning against the seductive powers of women, while others see it as a critique of the intellectual pride of scholars. The woodcut has been reproduced and copied by various artists over the centuries, indicating its significant impact on European visual culture.

"Phyllis and Aristotle" remains an important example of Renaissance printmaking and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and cultural implications. It is held in several museum collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis in the fields of art history, gender studies, and the history of philosophy.
