"Polyphemus" is a notable painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Sebastiano del Piombo, who was active during the early 16th century. This work is believed to have been created during the 1510s or 1520s, a period when Sebastiano was under the influence of both the Venetian colorism, derived from his early training in Venice, and the monumental forms that characterized Roman art of the time, influenced by his collaboration with Michelangelo.

The painting depicts the mythological figure Polyphemus, a Cyclops from Greek mythology who is most famously featured in Homer's "Odyssey." In the epic, Polyphemus is a formidable giant with a single eye in the middle of his forehead, who is eventually outwitted and blinded by the hero Odysseus. Sebastiano's rendition of Polyphemus is often noted for its fusion of classical mythology with the artistic innovations of the High Renaissance.

While the exact dimensions and current location of the painting may not be well-documented, "Polyphemus" by Sebastiano del Piombo is considered an important work for its representation of mythological themes through the lens of Renaissance artistry. The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, robust figure modeling, and the emotional intensity typical of Sebastiano's works.

As with many Renaissance paintings, "Polyphemus" would have been commissioned by a patron of the arts, possibly for a private collection or as part of a larger decorative scheme. The painting's historical context, its influence on contemporaneous artists, and its place within Sebastiano del Piombo's oeuvre contribute to its significance in the study of Renaissance art.

Sebastiano's "Polyphemus" is a testament to the cross-pollination of regional artistic styles during the Renaissance, as the artist combined the rich color palette of the Venetian school with the sculptural approach to form seen in Roman art. This synthesis helped to establish Sebastiano as a key figure in the development of 16th-century Italian painting, bridging the gap between the mastery of color and the exploration of form.
