A set of eight framed steel engravings after Thorvaldsen's monumental marble frieze, depicting the "Entrance of Alexander the Great into Babylon". Completed in 1812, this subject was chosen by the marble sculptor to decorate the Palazzo Quirinale in Rome, before a visit from Napoleon. The emperor was so taken with the masterpiece, that he commissioned a replica for the Louvre in Paris, over thirty three metres in length. The sculptor created another version for the Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen also.

This set of eight engravings faithfully reproduces the quality of this great work of sculpture, which includes a couple of single figures, later conceived by Thorvaldsen, to increase the scale of the subject for the later commissions. Samuel Amsler (1791-1848) after drawings by Johann Friedrich Overbeck (1789-1869) Published by J.H. Felsing, Darmstadt,1835.

A fine and large Italian oil on canvas en grisaille depiciting Volumnia and Veturia with their retinue pleading with Coriolanus to make peace with Rome.
The later frame is silver gilt but the painting was perhaps at one time, part of a larger architectural scheme. In cities such as Venice, where damp was a risk, large oil on canvases were used as they resisted the damp and humidity, and could be moved during periods of flooding.

Italian, 19th century.

This scene was immortalised by Shakespeare's play Coriolanus, believed to have been based on the life of the Roman leader, Caius Marcius Coriolanus.
