EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in Roman history as Veturia, the mother of General Coriolanus, pleads with her son to halt his attack on Rome. The scene is filled with emotion as Veturia is joined by Coriolanus' wife Volumnia and their two sons, all urging him to reconsider his actions.
The intricate details in this 19th-century artwork by Bartolomeo Pinelli bring to life the legendary tale of Coriolanus, whose historicity remains a subject of debate. The tension between duty and family loyalty is palpable in the expressions of each character, highlighting the complexities of ancient Roman society.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when honor and sacrifice were paramount values. The backdrop of Rome's iconic architecture serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and enduring legacy.
Through this print, we are reminded of the power of maternal love and familial bonds in shaping destiny. It is a timeless reminder that even mighty warriors like Coriolanus are not immune to the influence of those closest to them.
Ken Welsh's masterful capture of this momentous scene invites us to reflect on themes of conflict, loyalty, and ultimately, the enduring strength found within family ties.
