"Muzio Scevola Mette La Mano Nel Braciere Davanti A Re Porsenna" is a historical painting by the Italian artist Giuseppe Salviati, also known as Giuseppe Porta. The artwork, whose title translates to "Mucius Scaevola Puts His Hand in the Brazier in Front of King Porsenna," depicts the legendary act of bravery by the Roman hero Gaius Mucius Scaevola during the early years of the Roman Republic.

According to the story, Scaevola, in an attempt to assassinate the Etruscan king Lars Porsenna, who was besieging Rome, mistakenly killed Porsenna's scribe. When captured, Scaevola demonstrated his stoic resolve and patriotism by placing his right hand into a fire without flinching, thereby showing his contempt for pain and his readiness to sacrifice for Rome. Impressed by this act of courage, Porsenna freed Scaevola, who subsequently received the cognomen "Scaevola," meaning "left-handed," due to the loss of his right hand.

Salviati's rendition of this dramatic moment captures the tension and the theatricality of the scene. The painting is a fine example of the Mannerist style, characterized by its sophisticated elegance, elongated figures, and complex composition. Salviati, who was active during the 16th century, was known for his work in the Venetian and Roman schools, and his paintings often reflected the influence of his contemporaries, such as Titian and Tintoretto.

The artwork serves not only as a representation of a significant historical and cultural narrative but also as an embodiment of the artistic trends and aesthetic values of the Mannerist period. "Muzio Scevola Mette La Mano Nel Braciere Davanti A Re Porsenna" remains an important work for the study of Italian Renaissance art and continues to be appreciated for its dramatic portrayal of heroism and sacrifice.
