From the Series: Les travaux d'Ulysse
Plate 10: Ulysses and two companions blinding Polyphemus with a stake; after Primaticcio and Niccolò dell' Abbate.
From a series of fifty-eight plates representing the works of Ulysses, after the frescoes designed by Primaticcio and painted by Niccolò dell' Abate for the walls of the Gallery of Ulysses, in Fontainebleau (c.1555-1560). The preparatory drawings are now in the Albertina, Vienna. These drawings, the plates and some literary descriptions are the main sources of information we have on the Galerie d'Ulysse, which is now destroyed.
