Spike, Mattia Preti, Catalogue Raisonné of the Paintings, Florence, 1999, p. 367, no. 305, ill. p. 368 Exhibited Northampton, Smith College Museum of Art, Baroque Painters in Italy, 17 November 1989- 8 February 1990 (no catalogue) Wilmington, Delaware Art Museum, Mostly Baroque: Italian Paintings and Drawings from the Carlo Croce Collection, 24 April- 14 June 1992 (no catalogue) The present composition which John Spike regarded as an important early work from the mid 1630s would appear to be the artist's earliest known treatment of a subject that he painted later in two famous works now in the Museo di Capodimonte, Naples, and the National Gallery of Canada. The subject is taken from Samuel, XIII: v. 28, which describes how Absalom, son of King David, sought revenge on his half-brother Amnon, for the rape of his sister Tamar. The prince invited the unsuspecting Amnon to a banquet and after lulling him with wine and food, signalled his assassins to murder him.
