Sophonisba, on her part, was assiduous in her endeavours to secure his adherence to the cause of her countrymen, and it was almost entirely through her influence that Syphax was induced, even after the destruction of his camp by Scipio [syphax], to assemble a new arm}% and to try his fortune once more.
Their nuptials were accordingly celebrated without delay, but Scipio (who was apprehensive lest she should exercise the same influence over Masinissa which she had previously done over Syphax) re­fused to ratify this arrangement, and upbraiding Masinissa with his weakness, insisted on the im­mediate surrender of the princess.

 Review of Sophonisba   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Romans are attacking Carthage, alliances are forged and broken with dizzying speed, and amid it all Carthaginian princess Sophonisba is pursued by two opposing generals.
John Marston's 1606 tragedy has some wonderful touches, and the Headfirst company turn in a clutch of strong and thoughtful performances which convert the heroine's stoical acceptance of her unjust end into a stream of sarcastic vitriol at her mistreatment by husband and assailant alike.

The recent discovery of documents and paintings (Marani, 1989; Shell and Sironi) related to his presence in Savona in 1537 excludes the previous identifications of the artists with Giovanni Pedrini or Pietro Rizzo.
These paintings are strongly influenced by the work of Leonardo, often deriving, with variations, from his lost Leda or from other late drawings and compositions by Leonardo, thus suggesting a close relationship of the artist with Leonardo during the latter’s second Milanese period (mid-1508–1513).
The autograph paintings, however, are characterized by a small white vase that may be the symbolic signature of the artist.
