Ulysses and Circe is a 1650 oil by Giovanni Andrea Sirani, depicting Aeneas, held at Capitoline Museums.
In this painting, a woman sits on a throne-like chair, wearing a flowing white and yellow dress. She holds a staff in her right hand and a cup in her left. To her right, a man stands, dressed in a red cape, helmet, and armor, with a sword at his side. The background features a stone structure with columns and a balcony. The woman appears to be speaking to the man, who looks at her with a serious expression. The scene is set against a backdrop of a stone building, with a balcony and columns visible. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Giovanni Andrea Sirani, an Italian Baroque painter known for his use of chiaroscuro and impasto techniques.
Giovanni Andrea Sirani (4 September 1610 – 21 May 1670) was an Italian Baroque painter from Bologna.
