"Sofonisba Riceve Da Massinissa Il Veleno" (English: "Sophonisba Receiving the Poison from Massinissa") is a notable historical painting by the Italian Baroque artist Simone Pignone. Created in the 17th century, this artwork delves into the dramatic and tragic tale of Sophonisba, an iconic figure from ancient history. The painting captures the moment when Sophonisba, a Carthaginian noblewoman, receives a deadly poison from her lover, Massinissa, after her capture by the Romans to prevent her from being paraded in a triumph as a prisoner.

Simone Pignone, active in Florence during the early Baroque period, was known for his skillful use of color and composition, which is evident in this work. The painting is a testament to Pignone's ability to convey complex emotions and narratives through his art. The depiction of Sophonisba is imbued with a sense of dignity and pathos, reflecting the gravity of her decision to choose death over humiliation.

The historical context of the painting is rooted in the events of the Second Punic War, where Sophonisba, the daughter of the Carthaginian general Hasdrubal Gisco, became a pawn in the power struggles of the time. Her marriage to Massinissa, the King of Numidia, and her subsequent fate, became a popular subject for artists and writers, symbolizing themes of honor, patriotism, and tragic love.

"Sofonisba Riceve Da Massinissa Il Veleno" is an important work within Pignone's oeuvre and contributes to the broader artistic tradition of interpreting classical and historical subjects. The painting not only showcases Pignone's artistic talents but also serves as a cultural artifact that reflects the values and interests of the Baroque period in Italy. While the current location of the painting or its history of ownership and exhibition may not be well-documented, the work remains a significant piece for the study of Baroque art and the representation of historical narratives in visual culture.
