EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "Circe Changing the Companions of Ulysses into Boars" transports viewers to a world of enchantment and mythology. Created by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione (Il Grechetto) in the 17th century, this Baroque masterpiece measures 110.5x160 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The scene depicted is from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, where Circe, an alluring sorceress with a wand in hand, casts her spell upon Ulysses' companions. As they sit fearfully before her, their bodies undergo a dramatic metamorphosis into wild boars. This moment captures both the power and evil nature of Circe as she exerts control over these brave warriors. The composition showcases Castiglione's mastery of light and shadow as he skillfully renders each figure with meticulous detail.

With its rich colors and classical subject matter, "Circe Changing the Companions of Ulysses into Boars" stands as a testament to both Italian Renaissance artistry and timeless storytelling. It serves as a reminder that even heroes can
