"Sophonisba Receiving the Goblet" is a significant baroque painting created around 1670 by the Italian artist Mattia Preti, who was known for his dynamic and dramatic style that contributed to the vibrancy of 17th-century Baroque art. This artwork delves into the historical and tragic narrative of Sophonisba, a Carthaginian noblewoman entangled in the tumultuous events of the Second Punic War. The painting captures the poignant moment when Sophonisba accepts a goblet of poison, a gift from her husband, King Masinissa of Numidia, as a means to avoid being paraded as a Roman captive.

Mattia Preti, also known as Il Cavalier Calabrese (The Knight of Calabria), was renowned for his ability to blend the physical and emotional intensity in his works, and "Sophonisba Receiving the Goblet" is no exception. The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of the Baroque period, which serves to heighten the emotional tension of the scene. Preti's masterful composition and the expressive gestures of the figures draw the viewer into Sophonisba's tragic fate, making it a compelling representation of honor, love, and despair.

This artwork not only showcases Preti's skillful execution and deep understanding of human emotions but also reflects the broader cultural and historical interests of the Baroque period in heroic and tragic themes from antiquity. "Sophonisba Receiving the Goblet" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Mattia Preti, offering insight into the artist's thematic interests and his contributions to the development of Baroque painting. The painting is celebrated for its historical significance, artistic merit, and the way it encapsulates the essence of Baroque artistry through its dramatic narrative and visual impact.
