"Sacrificio di Ifigenia" (The Sacrifice of Iphigenia) is a notable oil painting by the Italian artist Antonio Balestra, a prominent painter of the late Baroque period. Balestra, born in Verona in 1666 and active until his death in 1740, was known for his religious and mythological scenes, which were characterized by their dynamic compositions and vibrant use of color. This particular work, which dates from the late 17th or early 18th century, depicts the dramatic moment from Greek mythology when Agamemnon's daughter, Iphigenia, is about to be sacrificed to appease the goddess Artemis.

The painting captures the emotional intensity of the scene, as Iphigenia is presented as a resigned figure, surrounded by the various characters involved in the narrative, including her father Agamemnon, who is often depicted in a state of anguish over the act he is compelled to commit. The presence of the priest, soldiers, and other onlookers adds to the complexity of the composition, each character reflecting a different aspect of the human response to the unfolding tragedy.

Balestra's work is noted for its classical influences, as well as its incorporation of the dynamic movement and dramatic lighting that are hallmarks of the Baroque style. "Sacrificio di Ifigenia" is a testament to Balestra's skill in blending these elements to create a poignant and powerful representation of mythological subject matter. The painting not only showcases Balestra's technical prowess but also offers insight into the cultural and artistic preoccupations of the Italian Baroque era.

While the exact location and provenance of "Sacrificio di Ifigenia" may not be well-documented, the work remains an important example of Balestra's artistic legacy and contributes to the understanding of Baroque art in Italy. It is a significant piece for scholars studying the period, the artist, or the broader context of European mythological painting.
