EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from the famous fresco "Magnanimity of Scipio" by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. The artwork is part of the larger composition titled "Glories of Scipio Africanus and Alexander the Great" created in 1743. The scene depicted here transports us back to ancient Rome during the Punic War, specifically after the siege of Carthagena in Spain.

In this particular moment captured on canvas, Scipio is faced with an extraordinary choice. Amongst these hostages is an exceptionally beautiful young girl who has caught his eye.
