"Octavia Swooning, Supported by Augustus for Tu Marcellus Eris" is a historical painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, created in the early 19th century. The artwork is notable for its depiction of a poignant moment from ancient Roman history, capturing the emotional intensity of a scene involving the Emperor Augustus, his sister Octavia, and the memory of her son Marcellus.

The painting's title, "Tu Marcellus Eris," translates to "You will be Marcellus," a reference to a line from Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid, which Augustus interpreted as a prophecy about his nephew Marcellus's promising future. However, Marcellus died young, and the artwork portrays the moment when Octavia faints upon hearing Virgil recite this line, overwhelmed by the loss of her son and the shattered hopes for his destiny.

Ingres, renowned for his precise draftsmanship and polished finish, employs his mastery of form and composition to convey the tragedy of the scene. The figures are rendered with classical restraint and idealized beauty, characteristic of Ingres's style, which often looked back to the art of the Renaissance and antiquity for inspiration. The emotional gravity of the moment is captured through the expressive gestures and the interplay of gazes between the characters.

The painting is a testament to Ingres's fascination with historical and literary subjects, as well as his ability to infuse such scenes with a sense of contemporary relevance and psychological depth. "Octavia Swooning, Supported by Augustus for Tu Marcellus Eris" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Ingres, reflecting the artist's enduring influence on the development of French art and his contribution to the narrative genre in Neoclassical painting.
