This oil sketch for a ceiling in a room of Palazzo Gnudi Scagliarini in Bologna takes its subject from the great Greek playwright Euripides (ca. 480–406 BC). Agamemnon's daughter is about to be sacrificed to appease the goddess Diana, who at the climactic moment appears and substitutes a deer on the altar. A flying putto stays the hand of the priest while the warrior Achilles, who had attempted to intervene, lies on the ground, astonished at the turn of events. Brilliantly staged, the picture is painted with extraordinary verve and liveliness. The frame was specifically designed for the picture.

The great advantage of an acrylic glass fine art copy is that sharp contrasts and smaller details become more visible due to the very subtle tonal gradation.
