"Ero e Leandro" is a renowned painting by the Italian Baroque artist Domenico Fetti, also known as Domenico Feti, who was active during the early 17th century. The artwork depicts the tragic love story of Hero and Leander, a popular myth from Greek antiquity. In the myth, Hero, a priestess of Aphrodite, lived in a tower in Sestos on the European side of the Hellespont (Dardanelles), and Leander, a young man from Abydos on the opposite side of the strait, fell in love with her. Leander would swim across the Hellespont nightly to be with Hero, guided by a light she lit in her tower. Tragically, one stormy night, the light was extinguished, and Leander lost his way and drowned. When Hero discovered his body the next morning, she threw herself from the tower in grief and perished.

Fetti's interpretation of this poignant tale is a testament to his skill in capturing human emotion and the drama of the narrative. The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition, the expressive intensity of the figures, and the use of chiaroscuro to enhance the dramatic effect. Fetti's work is often noted for its theatricality and the psychological depth he imparts to his subjects, and "Ero e Leandro" is no exception.

Domenico Fetti was born in Rome around 1589 and later worked in Mantua under the patronage of the Gonzaga family, before moving to Venice where he died in 1623. His style reflects the influence of both the Roman and Venetian schools, blending rich color with a strong sense of movement and narrative clarity. "Ero e Leandro" is one of Fetti's masterpieces and is considered an important work within the Baroque period for its emotional power and technical mastery.

The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and is often cited as an example of Fetti's ability to convey complex stories through his art. It remains a significant piece for study and appreciation within the oeuvre of Domenico Fetti and the broader context of 17th-century Italian painting.
