EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of Sophonisba receiving the Cup of Poison, as depicted in Mattia Preti's oil on canvas masterpiece. Painted around 1640, this Baroque artwork showcases the artist's skillful use of color and composition to convey a powerful narrative. In this scene, we see a noblewoman standing outdoors, surrounded by lush greenery. She is elegantly dressed in rich yellow garments that contrast with the dark background, emphasizing her importance within the composition. A young boy stands beside her holding a tray with a cup filled with poison. Sophonisba's posture suggests both resignation and determination as she reaches out to accept her fate. The side view allows us to witness her emotional turmoil while maintaining an air of mystery surrounding this historical figure. The painting transports us back to Carthage during ancient times when Sophonisba faced an impossible choice - drink the poison or face capture by enemy forces. This image serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and tragedy in human history. Displayed in a private collection, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its masterful execution and timeless subject matter. It is no wonder that Preti's work has become renowned among old master paintings, solidifying his place as one of Italy's most esteemed artists from the seventeenth century.
