In 1525, Italian artist Dosso Dossi painted this scene of the enchantress Circe surrounded by men she has transformed into animals. The lush landscape and mysterious atmosphere reflect the influence of Giorgione and the poetic tradition of Ferrara.
Dossi was court painter at Ferrara, known for mythological subjects with dreamlike settings. His work combines Venetian color with fantastical imagination. It hangs at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
