The Sacrifice of Iphigenia
Artist: Gaetano Gandolfi (Italian, 1734–1802)
Original Dimensions: 26 7/8" x 18"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (1789) "Using many of the Tiepolos’ compositional innovations, Gandolfi’s painting presents a story related by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides. Agamemnon’s daughter is about to be sacrificed to appease the goddess Artemis, who at the climactic moment appears and substitutes a deer on the altar. Daring foreshortening results in an unlikely compression of the figures and a suitably theatrical structure. This oil sketch was preparatory to a ceiling in the Palazzo Gnudi Scagliarini in Bologna. The frame designed for this painting was probably inspired by the plasterwork of the palace for which it was commissioned." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
