EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty and strength of Cornelia, Mother of the Two Gracchi Brothers. Created in 1861 by Pierre Jules Cavelier, this marble sculpture stands tall at a height of 171 cm in the Musee d'Orsay, Paris. Cornelia's regal presence is evident as she gazes into the distance with a serene expression. Her delicate features are expertly carved, capturing her grace and elegance. As the daughter of Scipio Africanus Major, one of Rome's greatest military leaders, Cornelia carries an air of nobility that transcends time. The sculpture depicts Cornelia surrounded by her two sons, Gaius and Tiberius Gracchus. This family portrait symbolizes not only their familial bond but also their significant roles in Roman history. Both sons became influential figures - Gaius as an orator and politician while Tiberius pursued a career as a lawyer and senator. Through this artwork, Cavelier immortalizes Cornelia's devotion to her children and her unwavering support for their ambitions. It serves as a reminder that behind every great man lies an even greater woman who nurtures his potential. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from centuries past, we can't help but be captivated by its intricate details and emotional depth. It invites us to reflect on the power of family bonds and the lasting impact they have on shaping our world today.
