"Circe Giving a Drink to Ulysses's Companions" is an etching by Antonio Fantuzzi, created between 1540 and 1545. The image depicts the Greek myth of Circe, a sorceress who transforms Odysseus's crewmen into pigs after offering them a drink. Fantuzzi’s engraving highlights the dramatic moment as Circe presents the enchanted potion to a crew member, while a serpent at her feet emphasizes the dangerous nature of her magic. The work, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Fantuzzi’s talent for conveying narrative through fine detail and intricate composition.
