More about this artwork

John Martin's "Marcus Curtius" is a dramatic and arresting piece that captures the legend of a Roman hero in an extraordinary moment of sacrifice for his city. In the artwork, the ancient city of Rome serves as a grand backdrop, rendered in exquisite architectural detail. The scene is set amidst ominous storm clouds, with lightning illuminating the sky, enhancing the sense of impending doom.At the painting's center, a massive chasm has opened within the earth, symbolizing the mouth of the underworld, according to legend, asserting that Rome would fall unless its greatest treasure was surrendered. Marcus Curtius, a young Roman soldier, interpreted this as a call for a noble sacrifice. He is depicted heroically on his horse, wearing full battle regalia, as he leaps into the abyss, thus fulfilling the oracle's requirement and saving his city.The foreground is packed with Roman citizens who appear panicked and awestruck by the event unfolding before them. Their varied expressions and dynamic poses add to the composition's emotional intensity, making it not only a visual spectacle but also a poignant narrative about valor and devotion to one's country.

All Artworks

John Martin was an English Romantic painter, engraver and illustrator. He was celebrated for his typically vast and melodramatic paintings of religious subjects and fantastic compositions, populated with minute figures placed in imposing landscapes. Martin's paintings, and the prints made from them, enjoyed great success with the general public—in 1821 Thomas Lawrence referred to him as "the most popular painter of his day"—but were lambasted by John Ruskin and other critics.
