About the piece

This masterwork by Otto van Veen, dated 1606, depicts the historical moment Brinio was appointed chief of the Caninifates. The composition is a brilliant example of late Mannerism, using a vibrant palette and a theatrical arrangement of figures to celebrate a moment of civic and military triumph within a classically rendered landscape.
