French School circa
1785-90
Coriolanus leaves his family to go into exile
Painting,
oil on canvas
Unsigned
Painting: 40.5 x 32.5 cm
19th century
frame with an attribution to Guérin and a number 27: 45.5 x 37.5
cm
Good condition, old and discreet restorations
Note:
this painting is typical of the size of the sketch canvas for the
competitions for the Prix de Rome. Two subjects seem to correspond to
this painting: in 1786, Coriolanus left his family to go into exile
and in 1791, Regulus returned to Carthage. But we are leaning more
towards the subject of 1786.
