"The Sacrifice of Iphigenia" (1757) is a renowned oil painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, a master of the Rococo era known for his grandiose and vibrant works. The painting depicts the dramatic and tragic moment from Greek mythology when Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek forces during the Trojan War, is compelled to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia to appease the goddess Artemis. According to the myth, Artemis had stilled the winds, preventing the Greek fleet from sailing to Troy, and demanded the sacrifice as a condition to allow their journey to proceed.

Tiepolo's rendition of this poignant scene is characterized by his signature use of light and color, which imbues the work with a sense of theatricality and emotional intensity. The composition is dynamic, with figures arranged in a manner that guides the viewer's eye towards the central action—the innocent Iphigenia, who is depicted with a serene resignation to her fate. Surrounding her are the anguished figures of her family and the priest, Calchas, who is tasked with carrying out the sacrifice.

The painting is a testament to Tiepolo's ability to convey complex narratives through his art, blending classical themes with the ornate elegance of the Rococo style. "The Sacrifice of Iphigenia" is not only a reflection of Tiepolo's artistic prowess but also an insight into the cultural and philosophical preoccupations of 18th-century Europe, where ancient myths were revisited and reinterpreted through the lens of contemporary sensibilities.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, "The Sacrifice of Iphigenia" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, celebrated for its dramatic expression and mastery of the painterly medium. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its evocative portrayal of a timeless story.
