"Ulysses Deriding Polyphemus - Homer's Odyssey" is a renowned oil painting by Joseph Mallord William Turner, an English Romantic painter, watercolourist, and printmaker. Completed in 1829, this work is one of Turner's most celebrated depictions of a classical subject, illustrating a dramatic scene from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey."

The painting captures the moment after the Greek hero Odysseus (Ulysses in Latin) and his men have escaped from the cave of the Cyclops Polyphemus. Having blinded the one-eyed giant, they flee on their ship, and in a moment of hubris, Odysseus taunts Polyphemus from the sea. Turner's portrayal is a masterful blend of sublime landscape and narrative drama, set against the backdrop of a luminous sunrise that symbolizes both the enlightenment of the hero and the dawning of a new day.

Measuring 132.5 cm × 203 cm (52.2 in × 79.9 in), the painting is a testament to Turner's skill in manipulating light and color to evoke emotion and convey the grandeur of the natural world. The work is also notable for its dynamic composition and the use of atmospheric perspective, which Turner employed to emphasize the vastness of the scene and the smallness of human endeavors in the face of nature's immensity.

"Ulysses Deriding Polyphemus" is housed in the National Gallery in London and remains a pivotal example of Turner's late style, where he increasingly focused on the elemental forces of nature and their relationship to human history and mythology. The painting is a significant contribution to the Romantic movement and continues to be studied for its innovative approach to classical themes and its influence on the development of landscape painting.
