"Volumnia With Her Sons Before Coriolanus" is a historical painting by the Anglo-American artist Benjamin West, who was a prominent figure in the history of Western art and the second president of the Royal Academy in London. This work is inspired by the story of the Roman leader Gaius Marcius Coriolanus from ancient Roman history and the writings of Plutarch, which were dramatized by William Shakespeare in his tragedy "Coriolanus."

The painting depicts the pivotal moment when Volumnia, the mother of Coriolanus, along with his wife and children, plead with him to spare Rome from his vengeful military campaign. Coriolanus, who had been exiled from Rome and subsequently took up arms with the Volscian army against his native city, is moved by the entreaties of his family, leading to a dramatic and emotional climax. West's portrayal of this scene is a study in the power of maternal influence and the conflict between personal vendetta and familial love.

Benjamin West's composition is notable for its classical references and dramatic use of light and shadow, which serve to heighten the emotional intensity of the scene. The figures are rendered with a neoclassical idealization, yet their expressions and gestures convey a deeply human response to the situation. West's ability to capture the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by his subjects is a hallmark of his work, and "Volumnia With Her Sons Before Coriolanus" is a prime example of his skill in translating complex narratives into compelling visual art.

The painting is part of West's larger body of work that explores themes from history and classical antiquity, reflecting the cultural and artistic preoccupations of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. As an artist who bridged the traditions of European painting with the emerging American art scene, West played a significant role in shaping the artistic identity of the nascent United States. "Volumnia With Her Sons Before Coriolanus" is a testament to his influence and a valuable piece of art historical heritage.
