"The Departure of Regulus As A Hostage To Carthage" is a watercolour painting by the renowned British artist John Martin, created in the early 19th century. John Martin, born in 1789 and active until his death in 1854, was celebrated for his dramatic and grandiose depictions of historical and biblical scenes. His works often featured vast, awe-inspiring landscapes and intense, emotional narratives, characteristics that are vividly present in this particular piece.

The painting illustrates a poignant moment from the life of Marcus Atilius Regulus, a Roman general and consul during the First Punic War. According to historical accounts, Regulus was captured by the Carthaginians and later sent back to Rome to negotiate a peace treaty. However, he urged the Roman Senate to reject the terms, knowing that his return to Carthage would result in his execution. The artwork captures the moment of his departure, embodying themes of duty, sacrifice, and stoic resolve.

Martin's use of watercolour in "The Departure of Regulus As A Hostage To Carthage" is particularly noteworthy. The medium allows for a delicate yet powerful rendering of the scene, with subtle gradations of color and light that enhance the emotional weight of the narrative. The composition is meticulously detailed, with Martin's characteristic attention to architectural elements and dramatic skies, which serve to heighten the sense of impending tragedy.
