"Cornelia, Mother of the Gracchi" is an exquisite engraving by the renowned Italian artist Francesco Bartolozzi, who was celebrated for his masterful technique and contributions to the art of engraving in the 18th century. Born in Florence in 1727, Bartolozzi trained under the tutelage of notable artists such as Giovanni Domenico Ferretti and later, Joseph Wagner in Venice. His career flourished in London, where he became a founding member of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1768.

The engraving depicts Cornelia Africana, a revered figure in Roman history, known for her virtue and as the mother of the Gracchi brothers, Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, who were prominent social reformers in the 2nd century BCE. Cornelia is often idealized as the epitome of Roman matronly virtue and is famously remembered for her declaration that her sons were her jewels, emphasizing her dedication to their upbringing and moral education.

Bartolozzi's work captures Cornelia in a moment of serene dignity, surrounded by her children, symbolizing her role as a nurturing and influential mother. The engraving is noted for its delicate lines, intricate details, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which are hallmarks of Bartolozzi's style. His ability to convey texture and depth through engraving techniques has earned this piece a distinguished place in the annals of art history.

This work not only exemplifies Bartolozzi's technical prowess but also reflects the neoclassical interest in themes from antiquity that were prevalent during his time. The engraving serves as a testament to Cornelia's enduring legacy and Bartolozzi's skill in immortalizing historical and mythological subjects through his art.
