"The Legend of the Infant Servius Tullius" (1507-1553) by Bonifacio de' Pitati (Bonifacio Veronese) depicts the legendary founding of the Roman king Servius Tullius. The painting shows the infant Servius, abandoned in a basket, being discovered by a group of women. The figures are arranged in a dynamic composition, creating a sense of drama and movement. This painting, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, exemplifies Veronese's early style, characterized by its vivid colors, delicate brushwork, and attention to detail.
