"Clelia Crossing the Tiber" is a notable painting by the French Baroque artist Jacques Stella, who was active during the early 17th century. Stella, born in 1596 in Lyon, France, is recognized for his classical style and his contributions to the Baroque movement, which was characterized by dramatic expression, rich color, and intense light and shadow contrasts.

The painting depicts the legendary Roman heroine Clelia, who is celebrated for her bravery during the early history of Rome. According to Roman legend, Clelia was one of the hostages given to the Etruscan king Lars Porsena as part of a peace treaty. Demonstrating remarkable courage, she escaped by swimming across the Tiber River, leading a group of fellow hostages to safety. This act of valor has been a popular subject in art and literature, symbolizing patriotism and heroism.

In "Clelia Crossing the Tiber," Stella captures the dramatic moment of Clelia's escape. The composition is marked by its dynamic movement and the emotional intensity of the figures. Stella's use of light and shadow enhances the tension and drama of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of Clelia as she leads the hostages through the turbulent waters of the Tiber. The painting reflects Stella's mastery of the Baroque style, with its emphasis on movement, emotion, and the interplay of light and dark.

Stella's work was influenced by his time in Italy, where he was exposed to the works of Caravaggio and the Carracci, which is evident in the dramatic realism and classical composition of "Clelia Crossing the Tiber." This painting not only showcases Stella's technical skill but also his ability to convey powerful narratives through his art. Today, "Clelia Crossing the Tiber" remains an important example of Baroque painting and a testament to Jacques Stella's artistic legacy.
