Episode 10 | Five Compositions
At least five related compositions of Cimon and Pero survive in paintings, drawings and prints.
Among them are the version in the Hermitage, dated to around 1610, and a drawing made by Willem Panneels around 1628. Their similarities suggest a shared visual tradition, but their exact chronological relationship remains uncertain.
This episode compares the five compositions and considers whether they may preserve elements of an earlier, possibly lost modello.
