"Tullia Driving Her Chariot Over Her Father's Body" is a historical painting by the Spanish artist Antonio González Velázquez, created in the 18th century. The painting depicts the infamous and macabre episode from Roman legend involving Tullia Minor, one of the daughters of Servius Tullius, the sixth king of Rome. According to the story, Tullia was an ambitious woman who, along with her husband Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, plotted against her own father to seize the throne. After the coup, Tullia is said to have driven her chariot over her father's body in the streets of Rome, an act that has been interpreted as a symbol of ultimate betrayal and impiety.

Antonio González Velázquez (1723–1793) was a prominent painter of the late Baroque and early Neoclassical periods in Spain. He served as a court painter to King Charles III and was known for his religious works, mythological scenes, and historical subjects. "Tullia Driving Her Chariot Over Her Father's Body" stands out as a dramatic and emotionally charged work within Velázquez's oeuvre, capturing the horror and intensity of the legendary event.

The painting is significant for its representation of a powerful female figure from antiquity, albeit in a negative light, and for its exploration of themes such as power, ambition, and moral corruption. It also reflects the artistic trends of the time, particularly the interest in dramatic narrative and the use of vivid imagery to evoke an emotional response from the viewer.

While the painting is not as widely known as some of Velázquez's other works, it remains an important example of 18th-century Spanish art and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic context of the period. The artwork is also of interest to scholars studying the reception of Roman history in European art and the ways in which artists have historically engaged with stories of moral transgression and their consequences.
