"Glaucus and Scylla from Ovid's Metamorphoses, 1841" is a painting by the renowned British artist Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851), who is often regarded as one of the greatest landscape painters and a precursor to Impressionism. The artwork is inspired by a story from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," a Latin narrative poem that is considered one of the most influential works in Western literature.

The painting depicts the tragic tale of Glaucus, a sea god, and Scylla, a nymph, as recounted in Book XIII of Ovid's epic. According to the myth, Glaucus falls in love with Scylla, but she is repulsed by his fish-like features and flees from him. In desperation, Glaucus seeks the help of the sorceress Circe, who falls in love with him herself. When Glaucus does not reciprocate her feelings, a jealous Circe poisons the water where Scylla bathes, transforming her into a monstrous creature with barking dogs around her waist.

Turner's interpretation of this mythological scene is characterized by his signature use of dramatic light and atmospheric effects, which evoke the emotional intensity and turmoil of the narrative. The painting is a testament to Turner's mastery of color and his ability to convey narrative through landscape, as well as his interest in classical mythology and its themes of transformation and the sublime.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a collection or exhibited in a gallery that preserves Turner's works, contributing to the understanding of his artistic evolution and the Romantic movement in art. The artwork continues to be studied for its technical brilliance, emotive power, and as an example of Turner's enduring influence on the development of landscape painting.
