Polyphemus is a canvas painted with oil by Guido Reni in 1639. The work belongs to the late Italian Baroque period, though no specific movement is listed. The picture shows the mythic hero Heracles. Reni chose a dramatic moment from the story, giving the scene a strong sense of action. If you liked this, you might also explore more works by the artist: Guido Reni.
