Tullia kører over sin fars lig 1574

"Tullia kører over sin fars lig" (Tullia Drives Over the Body of Her Father) is a woodcut by Swiss artist Tobias Stimmer from 1574. Depicting a gruesome scene from Roman history, the artwork shows the Roman noblewoman Tullia driving her chariot over the body of her slain father, Servius Tullius, in a shocking display of power and ambition. The image, created using black ink on paper, captures the dramatic moment with intricate detail, emphasizing the contrast between Tullia's callous disregard and the brutality of the act. The artwork's graphic nature reflects the Renaissance interest in historical narratives and the moral lessons they imparted. It is currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
