"La Cacciata del Duca d'Atene" (The Expulsion of the Duke of Athens) is a historically significant painting by the Italian artist Stefano Ussi, created in 1869. This work is a prime example of 19th-century Italian historical painting, a genre that aimed to depict and often romanticize notable events from Italy's rich past. Ussi, born in Florence in 1822, was a prominent figure in the Macchiaioli movement, which sought to bring a sense of realism and naturalism to Italian art, breaking away from the neoclassical and romantic styles that were prevalent at the time.

The painting captures a pivotal moment in Florentine history: the revolt of 1343 against Walter VI, the Duke of Athens, who had been ruling Florence as its tyrannical lord. The Duke's expulsion was a significant event that symbolized the city's reclaiming of its republican liberty after a period of autocratic rule. Ussi's work is celebrated for its dynamic composition and the way it conveys the intense emotions of the scene. The artist's use of light, color, and meticulous attention to historical detail helps to immerse the viewer in the unfolding drama.

"La Cacciata del Duca d'Atene" is not only an artistic achievement but also serves as a visual document of the values and sentiments of the Risorgimento, the 19th-century movement for Italian unification and independence. The painting reflects the period's nationalist spirit and the desire to celebrate episodes of resistance against tyranny, which were seen as precursors to the contemporary struggle for a unified Italy.

Today, the painting is housed in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic merit. As a testament to the enduring legacy of Stefano Ussi, "La Cacciata del Duca d'Atene" remains an important work in the canon of Italian art history, offering insight into both the political climate of the time and the evolution of painting in Italy during the 19th century.
