Enthaltsamkeit des Scipio is a 1621 unspecified by Frans Francken the Younger, held at Bavarian State Painting Collections.
This painting shows a scene with many people, some in ancient clothing and others in armor. A woman in a white dress sits on a raised platform, while a man in armor stands beside her. In the foreground, several objects are scattered on the ground, including what appears to be a helmet and a shield. The background features a large tent and a crowd of people, some holding weapons. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures, look up Frans Francken the Younger.
Frans Francken the Younger (1581, Antwerp – 6 May 1642, Antwerp) was a Flemish painter and the best-known and most prolific member of the large Francken family of artists.
