The Constancy of Coriolanus 1773 - 1783

"The Constancy of Coriolanus," created by Jean François Janinet between 1773 and 1783, is a black and white print that depicts the story of a Roman general who is exiled for his pride. The print shows Coriolanus, his wife, his mother, and other figures in a dramatic scene. This work is a fine example of Neoclassical art, a style popular in the late 18th century. Janinet's print is characterized by its crisp lines, meticulous details, and focus on classical themes and mythology. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York houses this piece, which is a testament to the power of storytelling through visual art.
