"Erminia with the Basket-weavers" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Mattia Preti (1613–1699). Created in the 17th century, this artwork exemplifies Preti's dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique characteristic of the Baroque period. The painting depicts a scene from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered," where the character Erminia, a Saracen princess, finds solace and refuge among simple peasants after fleeing from the turmoil of war.

In the painting, Erminia is shown in a pastoral setting, interacting with basket-weavers, which signifies a moment of peace and human connection amidst the backdrop of conflict. Preti's mastery in rendering the textures of the landscape, the figures' expressions, and the intricate details of the basket-weaving craft is evident in this work. The composition's focus on the central figure of Erminia, bathed in a soft light that contrasts with the surrounding darkness, highlights her as the emotional core of the narrative.

"Erminia with the Basket-weavers" is a testament to Mattia Preti's skill in storytelling through visual means and his ability to convey complex emotional states. The painting is an important example of Preti's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Baroque art's engagement with literary themes and the human experience. It remains an object of study for art historians and enthusiasts who are interested in the interplay between visual arts and literature during the Baroque era.
