Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo's "The Seven Maccabee Brothers are Condemned to Death by Antiochus IV" depicts a scene from the biblical book of Maccabees. The painting shows the seven brothers, their mother, and a group of onlookers. The brothers are condemned to death by Antiochus IV, who is shown seated on a throne. The scene is set in a grand hall, with columns and an ornate archway. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of drama and tension, highlighting the solemn and tragic moment in the story. This work is a powerful example of Tiepolo's mastery of composition, figure drawing, and storytelling.
