About the piece
Painted by Félix-Joseph Barrias in 1850, this work depicts a group of Roman citizens being sent into exile by the Emperor Tiberius. The composition is masterfully crowded, contrasting the stoic expressions of the men with the weary grief of the women and children as they are rowed away from the rocky shores of Capri.
