"The Duel of Isabella de Carazzi and Diambra de Pottinella" is a notable work by the Spanish painter Jusepe de Ribera, created in 1636. This painting stands out in Ribera's oeuvre, which is predominantly characterized by religious subjects, portraits, and scenes of martyrdom, showcasing a rare depiction of a historical event involving two women. The artwork is remarkable not only for its subject matter but also for Ribera's masterful execution, which vividly captures the intensity and drama of the duel.

Set against the backdrop of 17th-century Naples, where Ribera spent a significant part of his career, the painting tells the story of Isabella de Carazzi and Diambra de Pottinella, two noblewomen who engaged in a duel over a matter of honor. This event was highly unusual for the time, as duels were typically reserved for men, making the subject matter of the painting both unique and historically significant.

Ribera's use of chiaroscuro, a technique involving the contrast of light and shadow to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures, is evident in this work. This technique enhances the dramatic effect of the scene, focusing the viewer's attention on the expressions and actions of the protagonists. The artist's attention to detail, from the intricate designs of the women's clothing to the expressions of the onlookers, adds to the narrative quality of the painting.

"The Duel of Isabella de Carazzi and Diambra de Pottinella" is celebrated for its historical relevance, artistic merit, and the insight it provides into the societal norms and expectations of 17th-century Naples. It remains a significant work in the study of Jusepe de Ribera's art and the broader context of European painting of the period.
