# The Rape of the Sabine Women [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LIGOZZI, Jacopo]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 132 x 186 cm ## Commentary Ligozzi was clearly responsive to the artistic influences around him. Throughout his career, the artist reveals a debt to Paolo Veronese's art in his treatment of large-scale paintings, as can be seen in the present work. Moreover, in the figures there is also a clear reference to <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/g/giambolo/2/55giambo.html'\)" href="/html/g/giambolo/2/55giambo.html">Giambologna's work</a> of the same subject in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Agony in the Garden]() - [Agony in the Garden]() - [Allegory of Fortune]() - [Christ Carrying the Cross]() - [Gerbil]() - [Model for a pietre dure table top]() - [Pineapple \(Bromelia ananas\)]() - [Portrait of Leopoldo de' Medici in Swaddling]() - [Psittacus Ararauna]() - [Sacrifice of Isaac]() - [The Rape of the Sabine Women \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
