This watercolor painting by Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí depicts the one-eyed giant Polyphemus from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. Dalí's signature style is apparent in this work, where he exaggerates the body and features of the mythological figure, creating an unsettling yet fascinating image that blurs the lines between reality and the surreal. This artwork is a testament to Dalí’s fascination with the classical world and his talent for merging ancient myths with modern artistic sensibilities.
