"The Mother Of Ulysses Recognising Her Son" is a notable painting by the distinguished British artist Sir Edward John Poynter, created in 1876. Poynter, a prominent figure in the Victorian art scene, is renowned for his historical and classical subjects, often drawing inspiration from ancient mythology and literature. This particular work is a vivid representation of a poignant moment from Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey."

The painting captures the emotional reunion between Ulysses (Odysseus) and his mother, Anticlea, in the Underworld. According to the myth, Ulysses encounters the spirit of his deceased mother during his journey to the land of the dead, a quest he undertakes to seek guidance for his return to Ithaca. The scene is imbued with a profound sense of recognition and sorrow, as Anticlea realizes the identity of her son, whom she had not seen for many years.

Poynter's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey deep emotional resonance are evident in this work. The composition is carefully structured to highlight the intimate connection between mother and son, with Anticlea's expression of recognition and Ulysses' poignant reaction forming the focal point of the painting. The use of light and shadow, along with the rich, subdued color palette, enhances the dramatic atmosphere of the scene.

"The Mother Of Ulysses Recognising Her Son" exemplifies Poynter's skill in blending classical themes with Victorian sensibilities, creating a timeless piece that continues to captivate audiences. The painting is a testament to Poynter's mastery of narrative art and his ability to evoke the emotional depth of mythological subjects. This work remains an important part of Poynter's artistic legacy and a significant contribution to 19th-century British art.
