"Jefte e la figlia" (Jephthah and his Daughter) is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Pietro Della Vecchia, also known as Pietro Muttoni. Born in 1603 in Vicenza and active in Venice, Della Vecchia was known for his varied subject matter, including historical scenes, portraits, and religious narratives. This particular work depicts the biblical story of Jephthah, an Israelite judge, who made a vow to God that if he were granted victory over the Ammonites, he would sacrifice the first thing that greeted him upon his return home. Tragically, it was his daughter who came to meet him, thus sealing her fate.

The painting is a poignant representation of the moment Jephthah realizes the gravity of his vow and the impending loss of his child. Della Vecchia's mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey deep emotion are evident in this work. The figures are typically rendered with a strong tenebrist contrast of light and shadow, a characteristic of the Baroque period, which serves to heighten the dramatic intensity of the scene.

While the exact date of creation for "Jefte e la figlia" is not well-documented, it is believed to have been painted during the mid-17th century, a period when Della Vecchia was particularly prolific. The painting's current location and provenance are not widely known, which may limit the available information regarding its history and critical reception.

As an artist, Pietro Della Vecchia contributed to the rich tapestry of Baroque art in Venice, and "Jefte e la figlia" stands as an example of his engagement with biblical themes and his skill in capturing human emotion and drama. The painting invites viewers to reflect on themes of sacrifice, duty, and the tragic consequences of rash vows, all of which are encapsulated in this powerful visual narrative.
