EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Baroque masterpiece, "La continence (la clemence) de Scipion" painted by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini in 1718-1719. The artwork depicts a significant moment from ancient history, specifically Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus' act of self-restraint during the Punic Wars. Measuring 103x128.5 inches, this oil on canvas painting is housed at the Art History Museum in Vienna, Austria. Pellegrini's exceptional talent is evident in his meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of color and composition. The scene portrays Scipio Africanus as he generously spares the life of a captured princess from Carthage after his victory over their army. This act of virtue and magnanimity highlights not only Scipio's military prowess but also his moral character. The artist masterfully captures the emotions on each character's face – gratitude on the princess's countenance and admiration mixed with astonishment among Roman soldiers witnessing this noble act. The painting exudes an aura of grandeur and power while simultaneously conveying themes of mercy, honor, and reward for virtuous behavior. Pellegrini transports viewers back to ancient Rome through this breathtaking piece that immortalizes one man's triumphs both on the battlefield and within himself. It serves as a reminder that true greatness lies not only in victory but also in acts of kindness towards others. This remarkable work stands as a testament to Pelle
