Polyphemus and Galatea is a 1690 paint by Unknown, a Barbizon school work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
This painting depicts a mythological scene, with a satyr as the central figure. The satyr is shown in a dynamic pose, with his body twisted and his arms outstretched. He is surrounded by lush greenery and appears to be in a state of intense emotion. The painting is rendered in vivid colors, with the satyr's skin a deep brown and his hair a wild tangle of black locks. The background is a soft, muted green, which provides a striking contrast to the satyr's vibrant colors.
