Relief “Ulysses and Circe”. Recreation in relief of a painting by the Flemish painter Bartholomäus Spranger (1546-1611). The original painting, painted between 1580-1585, belonged to the collection of Emperor Rudolf II and is currently exhibited in the Museum of Art History in Vienna. This piece represents a scene from the Odyssey in which Ulysses confronts the sorceress Circe, who tries to seduce him after turning the hero’s companions into animals.
