"Die Enthaltsamkeit des Scipio" (The Continence of Scipio) is a notable work by the 18th-century Venetian painter Francesco Fontebasso. This painting, which dates from the Rococo period, is an artistic interpretation of a famous episode from the life of the Roman general Scipio Africanus. The subject matter is derived from a historical and moral anecdote wherein Scipio, after the defeat of the Carthaginians in the Second Punic War, magnanimously returned a young captive woman to her fiancé, an act that exemplified Roman virtue and clemency.

Francesco Fontebasso, born in 1707 and deceased in 1769, was an Italian painter who trained under Sebastiano Ricci and was influenced by the works of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Fontebasso's style is characterized by its vibrant color palette, dynamic compositions, and the elegant portrayal of figures, which is evident in "Die Enthaltsamkeit des Scipio."

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its representation of Enlightenment ideals, which emphasized virtues such as restraint, honor, and moral rectitude. It reflects the era's fascination with classical antiquity and the use of historical narratives to convey contemporary values.

"Die Enthaltsamkeit des Scipio" is a testament to Fontebasso's skill as a history painter and his ability to convey complex emotional and ethical themes through his art. The work is housed in a notable museum or private collection, and it continues to be studied for its historical context, iconography, and contribution to the Rococo movement in Venetian painting.
