"Circe Mourning Odysseus' Departure" is a notable painting by the 18th-century Danish artist Nicolas-Abraham Abildgaard, created in 1787. This work of art is steeped in the Neoclassical tradition, reflecting the period's fascination with the themes and aesthetics of antiquity. The painting depicts a scene from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey," where the enchantress Circe is shown in a state of sorrow as Odysseus leaves her island to continue his journey back to Ithaca.

Abildgaard's representation of Circe is rich in emotional depth, capturing the complexity of her feelings as she grapples with loss and abandonment. The artist's mastery of form and composition is evident in the way he conveys the narrative through the use of classical motifs and a restrained color palette, which were characteristic of the Neoclassical movement. The painting not only illustrates a specific moment from the epic tale but also serves as a reflection on the human experience of love and loss.

As a prominent figure in Danish art, Abildgaard played a significant role in introducing Neoclassical ideals to Denmark, and his works often explored themes from classical literature and mythology. "Circe Mourning Odysseus' Departure" is a prime example of his skill in translating these ancient stories into visual form, making them accessible and emotionally resonant for contemporary audiences. The painting is an important piece within Abildgaard's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Neoclassical art and its cultural context during the late 18th century.
