"Hannibal Swearing Revenge Against the Romans" is a historical painting by Giovanni Battista Pittoni the Younger, an Italian painter of the Venetian school known for his history paintings and contributions to the Rococo movement. The artwork captures a pivotal moment in ancient history, depicting the young Carthaginian general, Hannibal Barca, taking an oath of vengeance against Rome, as instigated by his father, Hamilcar Barca, following the First Punic War.

The painting is a dramatic representation of the legendary event, which is said to have occurred around 237 BC, before Hannibal embarked on his military campaign against Rome during the Second Punic War. In the scene, the artist portrays Hannibal with a determined expression, often surrounded by figures that include his father and soldiers, emphasizing the gravity of the oath and its historical significance. The composition typically illustrates the moment of the oath-taking, with Hannibal's hand raised or placed upon an altar, symbolizing his commitment to the cause.

Giovanni Battista Pittoni the Younger, born in 1687 and active until his death in 1767, was renowned for his mastery of color and composition, which is evident in this work. His paintings often featured classical and mythological themes, and "Hannibal Swearing Revenge Against the Romans" is a prime example of his skill in blending dramatic narrative with the aesthetic principles of the Rococo period.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic value but also for its depiction of a moment that has been etched into the annals of history as a turning point in the ancient conflict between Carthage and Rome. It reflects the 18th-century fascination with classical antiquity and the lessons that could be drawn from historical episodes. As an artwork, it serves as a testament to Pittoni's ability to convey complex historical narratives through the medium of paint, and it remains an important piece within the oeuvre of the artist and the broader context of 18th-century European art.
