"The Taking of Carthage: Hasdrubal's Wife Denouncing Her Husband Before Scipio" is a notable historical painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Nicolo Dell' Abate, dating from the 16th century. The artwork captures a dramatic moment from the Third Punic War, specifically the fall of Carthage in 146 BC, which marked the end of the ancient city-state and its final defeat by the Roman Republic.

In this painting, Dell' Abate illustrates the intense scene where Hasdrubal's wife, the wife of the Carthaginian general Hasdrubal, publicly condemns her husband before the Roman general Scipio Aemilianus, also known as Scipio Africanus the Younger. The moment is a poignant one, filled with themes of betrayal, honor, and the tragic downfall of a once-great civilization.

Nicolo Dell' Abate (circa 1509–1571), hailing from Modena, was renowned for his frescoes and oil paintings that often depicted mythological and historical subjects. His work is characterized by its dynamic compositions, rich color palette, and the emotional intensity of the figures portrayed. "The Taking of Carthage" is a prime example of Dell' Abate's skill in conveying complex narratives and his ability to capture the human drama at the heart of historical events.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its depiction of a pivotal event in classical history. It reflects the Renaissance interest in the classical world and the lessons that could be drawn from its history. The work of Nicolo Dell' Abate, including "The Taking of Carthage," contributed to the cultural and artistic dialogue of the time, influencing contemporaries and later generations of artists.
