Polyphemus werpt een rots naar het schip van Odysseus 1632 - 1633

Theodoor van Thulden's etching, "Polyphemus werpt een rots naar het schip van Odysseus," depicts the moment when the cyclops Polyphemus hurls a boulder at Odysseus's ship. The scene takes place in a dramatic seascape, showcasing the towering cliff from which Polyphemus throws the rock. The powerful, nude figure of Polyphemus contrasts with the much smaller, more detailed ship full of men in the foreground, emphasizing his strength and dominance. The artwork, created between 1632-1633, exemplifies van Thulden's mastery of Baroque style.
