About the piece

Painted by Felice Ficherelli around 1638, this work depicts the classical story of Antiochus and Stratonica with striking chiaroscuro. The composition highlights the emotional tension of the narrative through expressive gestures and a rich, jewel-toned palette of pinks, greens, and deep shadows.
