Image description

Whole artwork view. Representation of the supplice of Dirce: in the middle of the scene, Dirce is tied to a bull; on the left, her adopted son Zytus, who looks her martyrdom with a macabre interest, while his brother, Amphionis, looks indifferent behind the figure of the bull, with an old male character wearing the gown; Antyope, the natural mother of the two young men who are vengeing her name, looks at the scene with compassion, before the son Zitus; on the background, a rocky landscape and a forest; from Casa del Granduca di Toscana, Tablinum.
