About the piece
Attributed to the Flemish-Italian master Livio Mehus around 1650, this evocative oil on panel captures the Cyclops Polyphemus in a pensive, melancholic moment. The composition is defined by its dramatic Baroque lighting, stormy skies, and the vast scale of the coast, making it a striking statement piece for classical or scholarly spaces.
