The Continence of Scipio, early-mid 18th century. Creator: Giovanni Battista Tiepolo
The Continence of Scipio, early-mid 18th century. The Continence of Scipio, or The Clemency of Scipio, is an episode in the life of the Roman general Scipio Africanus, recounted by the historian Livy. During Scipio's campaign in Spain during the Second Punic War, he refused to accept a ransom for a young female prisoner, returning her to her fiance Allucius, who in return became a supporter of Rome. Scipio's magnanimous treatment of a prisoner was regarded as an exemplar of mercy during warfare in classical times. Interest in the story revived in the Renaissance and the episode became a popular topic for literary works, visual arts, and operas

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th-century oil painting, titled "The Continence of Scipio" or "The Clemency of Scipio," is a masterpiece by the renowned Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. The painting depicts a significant episode from the life of Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus, a legendary Roman general during the Second Punic War. Scipio Africanus is shown in the painting, dressed in military attire and standing gracefully under an elegant archway. He is gesturing towards a young female captive, who is being released from her chains and returned to her fiancé, Allucius. The scene takes place in Spain, during Scipio's campaign against the Carthaginians. The story of Scipio's mercy towards his prisoner was highly regarded in classical times as an exemplar of clemency during warfare. The episode became a popular topic for literary works, visual arts, and operas during the Renaissance and the Baroque era. The painting, executed in vibrant colors and rich brushstrokes, showcases the architectural features of the Baroque era, with intricate details and a sense of grandeur. The archway in the background adds a sense of depth and location to the scene, transporting the viewer to another time and place. This painting is a testament to the political and military power of Scipio Africanus, as well as his mercy and compassion towards his enemies. It is now a cherished part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, and a reminder of the heritage and artistic legacy of Italy during the 18th century.
