EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in ancient Roman history. The image showcases the renowned Roman general, Naeus (or Gaius) Marcius Coriolanus, alongside his mother Veturia and wife Volumnia. In this powerful scene, we witness an intense plea for mercy as both women implore Coriolanus to halt his attack on Rome. The expressions etched on their faces reveal the desperation and anguish they feel, hoping to sway Coriolanus with their heartfelt pleas. Despite being a formidable warrior, Coriolanus listens attentively to their words of wisdom and compassion. The backdrop of the Volscian camp adds depth to the narrative, symbolizing the conflict that has brought these characters together. This pivotal moment marked a turning point in history as Coriolanus heeded his loved ones' advice and made the difficult decision to withdraw from Rome's siege. Published in 1883 by Cassells Illustrated Universal History, this archival engraving transports us back in time to witness this extraordinary event firsthand. Its vintage aesthetic evokes nostalgia while reminding us of the enduring power of family bonds and empathy even amidst times of war. Ken Welsh's masterful composition not only documents an important historical event but also serves as a poignant reminder that sometimes it takes love and understanding to bring about peace.
