The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the visual interpretation of classical literature. It reflects the Renaissance interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture, and the way in which artists of the period sought to bring these stories to life for contemporary audiences. The work is also an example of the influence of Raphael's teachings on Romano's style, particularly in the use of chiaroscuro and the arrangement of figures within the composition.
