The work, attributed to the circle of G. Benedetto Castiglione the Grechetto (Genoa 1609 Mantua 1664), represents an episode from Greek mythology featuring Circe, the famous sorceress who transformed men into animals. The work shows Circe surrounded by a series of animals, a symbol of her powerful magical transformations. The scene, vividly rendered in oil on canvas, is distinguished by the intensity of the colors and the interplay of light and shadows that characterize its Baroque style.
