Painting by J. M. W. Turner
Ulysses Deriding Polyphemus is an 1829 oil painting by Joseph Mallord William Turner . It depicts a scene from Homer 's Odyssey , showing Odysseus (Ulysses) standing on his ship deriding Polyphemus , one of the cyclopes he encounters and has recently blinded, who is disguised behind one of the mountains on the left side.[ 1] Additional details include the Trojan Horse , a scene from Virgil 's Aeneid , on one of the flags and the horses of Apollo rising above the horizon.[ 2] This painting is thought to be quickly done as a replacement for previous paintings submitted to the Academy that had been delayed.[ 1] The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1829 and acquired by the National Gallery in 1856.[ 3]
