"Marcus Curtius Se Jetant Dans Le Gouffre" (English: "Marcus Curtius Throwing Himself into the Chasm") is a notable 18th-century painting by Giovanni Niccolò Servandoni, an Italian-French painter, architect, and stage designer renowned for his work in the Baroque and Rococo styles. Servandoni, born in Florence in 1695 and active in France, was a multifaceted artist whose contributions to the visual and performing arts were significant during his time.

The painting depicts the legendary act of self-sacrifice by the Roman youth Marcus Curtius. According to the ancient Roman legend, in 362 BC, a deep chasm opened in the Roman Forum. The oracles declared that the pit would not close until Rome's most valuable possession was thrown into it. Marcus Curtius, considering the valor of Rome's citizens to be its most precious asset, clad in full armor and mounted on his steed, leapt into the abyss, which immediately closed upon him, saving the city.

Servandoni's rendition of this dramatic event is imbued with the theatricality and emotional intensity characteristic of Baroque art. His expertise as a stage designer is evident in the composition's dynamic arrangement and the effective use of light and shadow, which heighten the drama of the scene. The painting captures the moment of Curtius' descent, emphasizing themes of patriotism, virtue, and sacrifice that resonated with Enlightenment ideals of the time.

"Marcus Curtius Se Jetant Dans Le Gouffre" is an exemplary work that showcases Servandoni's skill in creating grand historical narratives. While the painting's current location, provenance, and critical reception are not specified in this introduction, it remains an important piece within Servandoni's oeuvre, reflecting his artistic legacy and the cultural values of the period in which he worked.
