Coriolanum under the walls of Rome by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo

Coriolanum under the walls of Rome by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo

One of the ten paintings series for the Palazzo Dolphin in Venice presents the story of the commander Marcia Coriolan. Winner in the war of the Romans with the Wolski tribes, Coriolanus for expulsion to the dictatorship was expelled from Rome. Having found refuge with former enemies, he led their army to Rome. Then the Roman Senate sent him an embassy led by his mother Veturia and his wife Volumnia with the children.

Having met his son, the mother said that he would enter the city only through her corpse. The ashamed general stopped the offensive. Tiepolo showed his hero from the back, his face half-closed with a helmet and the viewer’s attention involuntarily stops on the stern face of Veturia, ready to pronounce historical words.
