About the Item

Oil on Canvas. Southern Italian school of the 17th-18th centuries. The scene , full of characters, sees standing in the center, well-defined in the details of armor, crest, as well as anatomy, the figure of a condottiere: he is benevolently accompanying with the motion of his arms a kneeling man who, together with his companion, is paying homage to an emperor, pointing, however, with his outstretched hand to the group of six children, held on the right by soldiers. The emperor has risen from his throne on the left and goes to meet the prostrate couple, but he, too, seems almost in an attitude of reverence toward the central leader. The scene seems to hark back to a historical episode of clemency of a commander, who in age, features and type of armor, could be Alexander the Great, a character who is, however, difficult to match with the 'other laurel-crowned figure descending from his throne in the sumptuous palace. Therefore, one cannot specifically identify the 'episode (historical or legend?) reference. However, one appreciates the compositional richness of the scene, with numerous well-detailed figures and vivid colors to emphasize its dynamism. The work, restored and retiled, is presented in an antique frame.
