"Ulysses Asking The Women To Carry Away The Bodies Of Penelope's Lovers" is a painting by the French artist Nicolas-André Monsiau (1754–1837). Completed in the neoclassical style, this artwork depicts a scene from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey," where the protagonist, Ulysses (Odysseus), commands the maidservants to remove the corpses of Penelope's suitors, whom he has just slain upon his return to Ithaca.

Monsiau, known for his historical and mythological scenes, captures the dramatic aftermath of Ulysses' revenge against the men who had been courting his wife during his long absence. The painting reflects the artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey narrative through composition and the expressive gestures of his figures. Monsiau's work is characteristic of the neoclassical movement, which sought to emulate the art and culture of ancient Greece and Rome, emphasizing clarity, order, and idealized beauty.

The painting is significant for its portrayal of a pivotal moment in one of the Western canon's foundational texts, offering insight into contemporary interpretations of classical literature during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It also serves as an example of the moral and ethical questions that "The Odyssey" raises, particularly concerning justice and the consequences of one's actions.

"Ulysses Asking The Women To Carry Away The Bodies Of Penelope's Lovers" is part of Monsiau's broader oeuvre, which contributed to the cultural landscape of the French Enlightenment and the subsequent Romantic period. While the exact date of the painting's completion is not specified, it is a testament to Monsiau's legacy as a painter who bridged the gap between the neoclassical and Romantic styles in French art.
