"La Regina Sofonisba" (English: "Queen Sophonisba") is a notable baroque painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, better known as Guercino. Created in 1624, this artwork is a testament to Guercino's mastery of dramatic lighting and emotional expression, hallmarks of the Baroque period. The painting depicts the historical figure of Sophonisba, a Carthaginian noblewoman who played a significant role during the Second Punic War. According to the ancient accounts, after being captured by the Romans, she chose to commit suicide rather than be paraded in a triumph as a prisoner.

Guercino's portrayal of Sophonisba is imbued with a sense of nobility and tragic resolve. The composition focuses on the moment of her decision to drink poison, capturing both her dignity and the pathos of her fate. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, enhances the emotional intensity of the scene and draws the viewer's attention to Sophonisba's visage, which is illuminated amidst the surrounding shadows.

"La Regina Sofonisba" is considered one of Guercino's significant contributions to Italian Baroque painting, reflecting his ability to convey complex narratives through powerful visual storytelling. The painting is also an example of the artist's skillful handling of color and form, which contributes to the overall impact of the piece. As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting's location and provenance have not been specified, but it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
