"Cornelia, Mother of the Gracchi, Pointing to her Children as Her Treasures" is a renowned historical painting by Swiss neoclassical artist Angelica Kauffmann, completed in 1785. The artwork is a poignant example of Kauffmann's skill in portraying strong female figures and reflects the neoclassical emphasis on moral virtue and stoicism. The painting depicts a scene from the life of Cornelia Africana, a revered matron of Ancient Rome and the daughter of the famed general Scipio Africanus.

In the painting, Cornelia is approached by a wealthy woman showing off her jewelry, to which Cornelia responds by gesturing towards her sons, Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, implying that they are her most precious treasures. This scene encapsulates the Roman ideal of 'materfamilias', the mother as the central figure of the family and guardian of its values. The Gracchi brothers would later become significant political figures, advocating for agrarian reforms and the rights of Roman citizens, which ultimately led to their tragic deaths and made them symbols of republican virtue and sacrifice.

Kauffmann's work is characterized by its classical simplicity and the emotional resonance of its subjects. As one of the few prominent female artists of her time, she often explored themes of female education and virtue, making her paintings not only aesthetically significant but also culturally and socially poignant. "Cornelia, Mother of the Gracchi" is a testament to Kauffmann's artistic legacy and her contribution to the portrayal of women in art. The painting is held in high esteem and can be found in various art history texts as an example of neoclassical painting and its values.
