"Berenice" is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Bernardo Strozzi, which depicts the historical figure Berenice II of Egypt. Strozzi, who was active during the early 17th century, is known for his rich color palette and dynamic compositions that often imbued his subjects with a sense of drama and emotional depth. While the exact date of "Berenice" is not well-documented, Strozzi's works are generally dated between the late 16th and mid-17th centuries, a period during which he produced numerous religious and secular works.

The painting portrays Berenice II, the wife of Ptolemy III Euergetes, the third ruler of the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. Berenice was known for her political influence as well as her legendary sacrifice of her hair to the gods to ensure her husband's safe return from war, a story that has inspired artists and poets throughout history. In Strozzi's rendition, Berenice is typically shown in a moment of contemplation or offering, capturing the emotional gravity of her sacrifice.

Strozzi's "Berenice" is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of the Baroque style, which serves to highlight the figure of Berenice and draw the viewer's attention to her expression and the action depicted in the scene. The painting's composition, use of color, and the depiction of textures, such as the luxurious fabrics and Berenice's flowing hair, showcase Strozzi's skill in rendering both the physical and psychological presence of his subjects.

As with many of Strozzi's works, "Berenice" reflects the influence of his contemporaries, such as Caravaggio, as well as the Venetian colorism that was part of his artistic heritage. The painting is an example of the cultural exchange between the artistic centers of Italy during the Baroque period and demonstrates the ways in which mythological and historical subjects were used to explore human emotion and experience.

"Berenice" by Bernardo Strozzi is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of the Baroque style. It continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and as a representation of the themes and techniques prevalent in 17th-century Italian art. The painting is an important part of Strozzi's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the period's artistic developments.
