EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithograph captures a pivotal moment in ancient Roman history, depicting the intense interview between Coriolanus and his wife and mother. The legendary soldier, Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, had rebelled against Rome and led an army of Volscians to invade the city. However, standing before him were his beloved wife Volumnia and his mother Venturia, both beseeching him to abandon his plan. In this powerful image, Coriolanus is shown kneeling before them as they plead for mercy. The scene exudes emotion as their expressions convey desperation mixed with determination. It is a testament to the strength of familial bonds and the power of persuasion. Coriolanus's wife Volumnia plays a crucial role in convincing him to spare Rome from destruction. Her words carry weight as she passionately argues for peace instead of bloodshed. Meanwhile, Venturia adds her voice to the plea, emphasizing the importance of family loyalty over personal ambition. This print serves as a reminder of the complexities within human relationships and highlights how love can triumph even in times of conflict. It immortalizes an iconic moment in Roman history when one man's heart was swayed by those closest to him. The lithograph beautifully captures this historical event with intricate details that bring it to life once again. It stands as a testament not only to artistic skill but also to the enduring significance of this tale from ancient Rome.
