Gaius Gracchus neemt afscheid van Licinia Minor en zoon 1817

Bartolomeo Pinelli’s “Gaius Gracchus neemt afscheid van Licinia Minor en zoon” (1817) depicts the Roman tribune Gaius Gracchus bidding farewell to his wife and son. The scene is set outdoors and utilizes simple, classical lines that give it a timeless feel. The figures are rendered in a straightforward style and provide a sense of intimacy and emotion. The work likely draws upon Roman history and serves as a poignant example of the artist's ability to depict a historical moment with drama and accuracy.
