作品描述
The Continence of Scipio depicts the Roman general Scipio Africanus refusing the gifts of the Carthaginian queen, a scene from the Punic Wars. The painting captures the moment of moral integrity and restraint, with Scipio shown in a dignified pose, surrounded by his soldiers and the queen. It is a prime example of Rubens' mastery in historical and mythological subjects, blending dramatic composition with rich detail.
