The Cyclops

The Cyclops

191466 × 53 cmKröller-Müller Museum

The Cyclops is a symbolist painting by Odilon Redon that depicts the myth of the love of Polyphemus for the nymph Galatea. It was painted in oil on cardboard, then mounted on wood, and is now in the Kröller-Müller Museum in the Netherlands. The painting has been variously dated between 1898 and 1914.

Galatea is shown asleep on the lower right, her naked body blending into the flowery hill slope. In the upper half of the painting, the head and shoulders of the cyclops Polyphemus tower above a mountain ridge as he turns his one eye in the naiad's direction. Description →
