"Circe" is a painting by the British artist John Maler Collier, created in 1885. The artwork is a representation of the enchantress Circe from Greek mythology, who is known for her role in Homer's "Odyssey." In the epic, Circe is a powerful sorceress who lives on the island of Aeaea and is renowned for her ability to transform humans into animals with her magical potions.

Collier's depiction of Circe is a testament to the Pre-Raphaelite influence on his work, characterized by its vibrant colors, meticulous attention to detail, and fascination with classical mythology. The painting portrays Circe as a captivating and formidable figure, exuding both allure and menace. She is typically shown in a commanding pose, often with a wand or cup, symbolizing her magical powers, and surrounded by animals that were once men.

The artwork reflects the Victorian era's preoccupation with themes of beauty, power, and the supernatural, as well as the period's interest in exploring the complexities of female characters from ancient lore. Collier's "Circe" is celebrated for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of one of mythology's most enigmatic female figures. The painting is part of a broader body of work by Collier that delves into mythological and literary subjects, showcasing his skill in bringing these narratives to life through his art.

"Circe" by John Maler Collier is held in high regard for its artistic merit and contribution to the visual interpretation of classical mythology in the context of 19th-century British art. It remains an important work within Collier's oeuvre and continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and cultural significance.
