"Cincinnatus Called From His Plough" is a notable painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Erasmus II Quellin, also known as Erasmus Quellinus the Younger. Born in 1607 in Antwerp, Quellin was a prominent figure in the Flemish art scene, known for his historical and allegorical paintings. He was a pupil of Peter Paul Rubens, whose influence is evident in Quellin's dynamic compositions and robust figures.

The painting depicts the legendary Roman figure Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, who is famously known for his virtue and simplicity. According to Roman history, Cincinnatus was a retired consul living a humble life as a farmer when he was called upon to serve as a dictator to save Rome from a crisis. After successfully leading the Roman army to victory, he relinquished his power and returned to his plough, symbolizing his commitment to the Republic and his disdain for personal power.

In "Cincinnatus Called From His Plough," Quellin captures the moment when Roman envoys arrive at Cincinnatus's farm to inform him of his appointment as dictator. The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of the Baroque style, which serves to highlight the nobility and resolve of Cincinnatus. The composition is carefully arranged to draw the viewer's eye to the central figure of Cincinnatus, who stands out against the more subdued background of his rural surroundings.

Quellin's work is not only a testament to his skill as a painter but also reflects the values of his time, emphasizing themes of civic duty, humility, and the moral integrity of the individual. "Cincinnatus Called From His Plough" remains an important work in the study of Baroque art and continues to be admired for its historical significance and artistic excellence.
