Description:

"The Sacrifice of Iphigenia" is a powerful Baroque oil painting by Francesco Solimena, likely created in the late 17th or early 18th century. The dramatic scene depicts the Greek myth where Iphigenia is to be sacrificed to appease the goddess Artemis. Solimena masterfully employs chiaroscuro, contrasting light and shadow to heighten the emotional intensity. Rich, warm hues of red, gold and brown dominate the canvas, drawing the eye to the central figures. The dynamic composition and expressive gestures convey a sense of chaos and anguish. Through this vivid portrayal, Solimena explores themes of faith, fate and the human struggle against the whims of the gods.
