"Bodmer und Fussli vor der Buste Homers" is a painting by the Swiss artist Henry Fuseli, created around 1778-1779. The artwork depicts two prominent figures, Johann Jakob Bodmer and the artist himself, Henry Fuseli, standing before a bust of the ancient Greek poet Homer. This painting is notable for its exploration of the relationship between the artist and his intellectual influences.

Johann Jakob Bodmer was a Swiss author and critic, known for his role in the German Enlightenment and his advocacy for the works of Homer and other classical authors. His influence on Fuseli was significant, as Bodmer encouraged the young artist to explore themes from classical literature and mythology, which became central to Fuseli's oeuvre.

In the painting, Fuseli captures a moment of intellectual reverence and contemplation. The bust of Homer symbolizes the timeless nature of classical wisdom and its impact on contemporary thought. Fuseli and Bodmer are portrayed in a manner that suggests a deep engagement with the ideas and artistic inspiration that Homer represents. The composition of the painting reflects Fuseli's interest in dramatic expression and the emotional intensity of his subjects.

Fuseli's style is characterized by its bold use of light and shadow, as well as a dynamic sense of movement, which can be seen in this work. The painting is an example of Fuseli's ability to blend portraiture with allegorical elements, creating a narrative that extends beyond the immediate visual representation.

"Bodmer und Fussli vor der Buste Homers" is housed in the Kunsthaus Zürich, where it remains an important piece for understanding Fuseli's artistic development and his connection to the intellectual currents of his time. The painting not only highlights Fuseli's technical skill but also his engagement with the philosophical and literary ideas that shaped his artistic vision.
