About the Item
Oil on Canvas. Northern European school of the 18th century.
Carataco was a Celtic king of the Briton tribe Catuvellauni and leader of the anti-Roman resistance and famous as a freedom fighter. For eight years he resisted the Roman invasion of Britain beginning in 43 AD. For eight years he was the most wanted man in the Roman Empire, hunted relentlessly, from combat to combat, from fortress to fortress, in the mountains of Wales, until he was betrayed and handed over to the Romans in 51 A.D. by Cartimandua, queen of the Yorkshire Brigantes, to whom he had resorted for help.
Defeated, he was taken in chains to Rome with his entire family: brought before the emperor, the Briton king spoke with such wisdom and pride (with the speech reported by Tacitus in his Annales) that Claudius, impressed by his words, granted grace to him, his wife and brothers, allowing them to spend the rest of their days in Rome.
The painting re-enacts the moment of Carataco's peroration, center stage in chains, fervently pleading his cause before the emperor: the latter sits on his throne, flanked by his wife and surrounded by senators and soldiers.
The painting, restored and re-tinted in the late 1800s, shows minor damage.
