About the piece
Created around 1780, this work by Henry Fuseli (Johann Heinrich Füssli) captures a high-stakes moment from classical mythology. The scene depicts the blind prophet Tiresias appearing before Ulysses, rendered with Fuseli's signature mastery of dramatic lighting, spectral figures, and intense emotional tension characteristic of the Romantic movement.
