EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable work of art titled "Continence Scipio Generosity virgin fiancA general". Created by Giacinto Diana between 1765 and 1770, this canvas painting was intended as a preliminary study for a ceiling masterpiece in the Palazzo Serre di Cassano in Naples. The scene depicted in this artwork is both enchanting and profound. At its center, we see a powerful general seated on his throne, representing Scipio. Surrounding him are two significant events from his life: The Continence of Scipio and The Generosity of Scipio. In one part of the painting, we witness an emotional moment as a captive woman named Allucius is restored to her beloved bridegroom. Kneeling before General Scipio, Allucius receives the generous ransom offered by the bride's parents as their wedding gift. This act symbolizes not only Scipio's compassion but also his commitment to justice and honor. The artist skillfully captures these intricate details with oil paint on canvas, measuring approximately 64.4 cm in height, 78.8 cm in width, 2.5 cm thick, and 5.2 cm deep. With its rich historical significance and masterful execution, this print allows us to appreciate the artistic brilliance behind Giacinto Diana's creation while immersing ourselves in the fascinating narrative it portrays.
