Giuseppe Cesari’s painting depicts a scene from Roman legend during the war between Rome and Alba Longa. It shows the battle between the Horatii and Curiatii triplets, highlighting the lone surviving Horatius who defeats the wounded Curiatii. The story continues with Horatius killing his sister for mourning a Curiatius, her fiancé, resulting in his initial condemnation and later acquittal.
