"The Embarkation of Regulus, Ancient Carthage," engraved by Daniel Wilson (1816-1892) between 1838 and 1852, is a notable work of art by the eminent British painter Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851). This piece is part of Turner's profound exploration of historical and classical themes, depicting the story of the Roman general Marcus Atilius Regulus. According to Roman legend, Regulus was captured during the First Punic War and sent back to Rome by the Carthaginians to negotiate a peace treaty. He, however, urged the Roman Senate to reject the proposal and, honoring his word, returned to Carthage where he faced a gruesome death.

Turner's painting captures the moment of Regulus' departure from Rome as he embarks on his final journey back to Carthage. The work is imbued with Turner's signature treatment of light and atmosphere, lending the scene a dramatic and emotive quality that both romanticizes and heroizes Regulus' act of self-sacrifice. The painting is a testament to Turner's mastery in conveying narrative through landscape, with the tumultuous sea and the luminous sky reflecting the turmoil and nobility of Regulus' fate.

Daniel Wilson's engraving of Turner's original painting allowed for the wider dissemination of the image, making it accessible to an audience beyond those who could visit the galleries where the painting was displayed. The collaboration between Turner and Wilson is an example of the synergy between painters and engravers during the 19th century, which played a crucial role in the period's visual culture.

As a part of Turner's rich oeuvre, "The Embarkation of Regulus" not only exemplifies his artistic prowess but also reflects the 19th-century fascination with classical antiquity and the moral dimensions of historical narratives. The work remains an important piece within the study of Turner's art and the broader context of British Romantic painting.
