"Virgilia Reading the 'Aeneid' to Livia, Octavia, and Augustus" is a historical painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, completed in 1812. The painting depicts a scene from ancient Rome, where Virgilia, the wife of the Roman general Coriolanus, is shown reading from Virgil's epic poem the 'Aeneid' to the Roman empress Livia, her friend Octavia, and the first Roman emperor, Augustus. Ingres, known for his precise draftsmanship and polished surfaces, presents the figures in a serene and classical composition, reflecting his admiration for the art and culture of antiquity.

The artwork is a testament to Ingres's fascination with historical and literary subjects, and his ability to imbue them with a sense of grace and nobility. The painting is characterized by its clear lines, harmonious color palette, and the calm, idealized portrayal of its subjects, which was typical of Ingres's style. The figures are arranged in a manner that guides the viewer's eye across the canvas, with the central focus being the act of reading the revered text.

"Virgilia Reading the 'Aeneid' to Livia, Octavia, and Augustus" is notable for its representation of intellectual and cultural life in ancient Rome, as well as for its reflection of early 19th-century French artistic and cultural values. The painting is part of Ingres's body of work that contributed to the development of Neoclassicism, a movement that sought to revive the classical art and literature of Greece and Rome during a period marked by the aftermath of the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon.

While the painting itself is not as widely recognized as some of Ingres's other works, such as "The Grande Odalisque" or "Oedipus and the Sphinx," it nonetheless exemplifies the artist's commitment to classical themes and his skill in rendering the human figure with elegance and precision. The work is held in a private collection, and as such, it may not be as accessible to the public as other paintings by Ingres that are displayed in major museums around the world.
