"The Sacrifice of Iphigenia" is a notable work by the Flemish painter Ottmar Elliger the Younger (1666–1735), who was renowned for his contributions to Baroque art, particularly in the realm of still life and historical subjects. This painting depicts the poignant mythological scene from ancient Greek tragedy where Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon, is to be sacrificed to appease the goddess Artemis. According to the legend, Artemis had stilled the winds, preventing the Greek fleet from sailing to Troy, and demanded Iphigenia's life as a condition to allow their journey to proceed.

Elliger's interpretation of this dramatic moment is characterized by his intricate attention to detail and his use of vivid colors, which were hallmarks of his artistic style. The painting captures the emotional intensity of the scene, with Iphigenia portrayed as a tragic figure resigned to her fate, surrounded by the other key characters from the narrative, including her father Agamemnon and the priest Calchas. The work is imbued with the Baroque sensibilities of the 17th century, emphasizing movement, contrast, and the theatricality of the moment.

As a historical piece, "The Sacrifice of Iphigenia" reflects the cultural and artistic interests of the period, showcasing the artist's skill in rendering both human emotion and the opulence of the era's aesthetic. The painting not only serves as an example of Elliger the Younger's mastery of historical subject matter but also provides insight into the themes and stories that resonated with the audiences of his time.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is a testament to Elliger's prowess and stands as an important piece within the oeuvre of late Baroque art. The work is significant for its artistic merit and for its representation of mythological narratives that continued to inspire artists and captivate viewers well beyond the Baroque period. "The Sacrifice of Iphigenia" remains an important work for scholars studying the intersection of mythology and art, as well as for those interested in the evolution of European painting techniques and styles.
