Description
The Leap of Marcus Curtius (1850-1855) is a painting by Jean-Léon Gérôme, which depicts a legend from ancient Rome. According to the story, Marcus Curtius was a brave Roman soldier who, after a severe defeat in battle against the Etruscans, leaped into his horse's saddle with his sword and rode into a whirlpool created by water gods. His heroic act was meant to appease the gods and save Rome from destruction. In Gérôme's painting, Marcus Curtius is shown in the act of leaping into the saddle, while the horse rears up in fear. The scene is captured with great detail and realism, highlighting Gérôme's skill as a classical painter. The painting is an impressive depiction of the courage and self-sacrifice exhibited by Marcus Curtius for his city, and serves as a testament to the power of mythology in shaping artistic expression.
