About the piece
Created around 1630 by Cornelius van Poelenburgh, this refined oil painting illustrates the mythological tale of Cimon and Iphigenia. The scene captures the moment Cimon discovers the sleeping beauty, guided by a cluster of playful putti through a sun-drenched landscape punctuated by classical ruins and an ancient oak. Van Poelenburgh's characteristic Italianate style is evident in the warm, golden light and the delicate treatment of the figures.
