This work, traditionally attributed to the Bolognese painterJacopo Ripanda and dating from the first decade of the 16th century, is one of the four large scenes decorating the hall of the Capitoline Museums, celebrating key episodes of the conflicts between Rome and Carthage.
The fresco depicts Hannibal, the famous Carthaginian general, leading his war elephants. The depiction has apartly fanciful character, aiming not at strict historical accuracy but rather at evoking the myth and impact of Hannibal on Roman history. Despite its stylistic simplicity, the work is precious because it shows how the figure of Hannibal continued to inspire artists down the centuries, merging with history to create powerful visual narratives.
