The image, found in the esteemed Collection of Museo del Prado in Madrid, takes us back to ancient Rome during the Baroque period. Painted by Andrea di Leone between 1596 and 1675, this fine art masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent. In this genre painting, we witness the grandeur and spectacle of a circus performance. Two majestic elephants take center stage as they showcase their immense strength and grace. These magnificent creatures were often featured in gladiator fights during that era, adding an element of danger and excitement to the show.
