Set of four original 19th-century etchings by the Italian artist and engraver Bartolomeo Pinelli (1781–1835), from his monumental series Istoria Romana, published in Rome between 1817 and 1819.
The four sheets depict various scenes from Roman history and belong to the same series in terms of content and format. The illustrations feature Italian captions and are signed in the plate.
The set consists of performances centered on:
- Horace and his sister Camilla
- Titus Manlius Torquatus and his son
- Coriolanus after his banishment from Rome
- Sofonisba and the poison of Massinissa
Similar examples of these compositions from the same series can be found in museum collections, including the
Rijksmuseum and the
Thorvaldsens Museum .
