"Landscape with Polyphemus" is a 1648 oil on canvas painting by the French artist Nicolas Poussin, who is considered one of the foremost painters of the classical French Baroque style. The painting, measuring 159 cm by 122 cm, is part of a series of landscapes that Poussin created during the 1640s, which are characterized by their serene and idealized depiction of nature, informed by the artist's study of classical antiquity and Italian Renaissance art.

The work is housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and it portrays a scene from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." The narrative depicted in the painting is the story of the cyclops Polyphemus, a giant from Greek mythology, who is shown in the background playing a flute on a hilltop. In the foreground, the painting illustrates the idyllic and pastoral setting of the island of Sicily, with shepherds tending to their flocks and the sea nymph Galatea, with whom Polyphemus is infatuated, riding a shell chariot drawn by dolphins.

Poussin's "Landscape with Polyphemus" is noted for its harmonious composition and the way it blends the mythological subject with the natural environment. The painting is a prime example of Poussin's mastery in organizing space and his ability to convey narrative through landscape. The tranquil and ordered depiction of the landscape reflects Poussin's philosophical interests in the rational order of nature and the ideals of beauty and permanence.

The work is a testament to Poussin's influence on the development of landscape painting in Europe, and it has been celebrated for its poetic interpretation of classical themes and its pivotal role in the evolution of the classical landscape genre. "Landscape with Polyphemus" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Nicolas Poussin and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
