"Chariclea shows Persina and Hydaspes" is a notable artwork by Karel van Mander III, a Dutch Golden Age painter known for his contributions to the Baroque movement. This painting, created in the 17th century, is inspired by the ancient Greek novel "Aethiopica" by Heliodorus of Emesa, which narrates the adventures and love story of Chariclea, the daughter of the Ethiopian king and queen, Hydaspes and Persina, and the Greek Theagenes. The novel was popular among European artists and writers during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, influencing various works of art and literature.

In van Mander's depiction, the focal point is the dramatic moment when Chariclea reveals her true identity to her biological parents, Persina and Hydaspes, by showing them a ring and other tokens, proving she is their long-lost daughter who was believed to be dead. This scene encapsulates themes of recognition, reunion, and the complexities of fate and identity, which were common in Baroque art.

Karel van Mander III, born into a family with a rich artistic heritage, was adept at capturing the emotional intensity and dynamic compositions characteristic of the Baroque era. His work on "Chariclea shows Persina and Hydaspes" exemplifies his skill in using color, light, and shadow to enhance the narrative and emotional depth of the scene. The painting is celebrated for its detailed portrayal of the characters' expressions, the intricate costumes, and the dramatic use of lighting, which highlights the emotional climax of the story.
