Camillia at War from Virgil's Aeneid

Del Pò employs a classical visual language, marked by strong chiaroscuro that heightens the drama of the scene. Bold, confident brushstrokes render the figures with vigor, while a vivid palette—particularly the stark whites and blues of Camilla’s dress—draws the eye to the central character amid the darker, blood‑stained background.

Executed in the early eighteenth century, the canvas remained in private collections before entering the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Its acquisition reflects the museum’s broader effort to represent Baroque Italian narrative painting, and it stands as a documented example of del Pò’s work during his mature period.
