La famiglia di Dario dinanzi ad Alessandro is a 1743 oil by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, a Rococo painting work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a large tent. They are dressed in colorful clothing, and some are holding objects like flags and spears. In the background, there is a bridge and a blue sky with white clouds. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The figures in the foreground are depicted in detail, while the background is more muted. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds to the dramatic effect of the painting.
