The Deliverance of Arsinoe is a 1555-56 painting by Tintoretto, now in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden. It shows Arsinoe IV of Egypt fleeing from Alexandria with her mentor, the eunuch Ganymedes, after Julius Caesar arrived in the city in 48 BC and sided with Arsinoe's half-sister Cleopatra.
