The

Triumph of Marius
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo -1729

This painting is from a series of ten

magni2icent canvases painted to decorate the
main room of Ca Dol2in, Venice. The subject
of this triumphal procession is identi2ied by
the Latin inscription at the top of the painting,
from the Roman historian Lucius Anneus
Florus: "The people of Rome behold Jugurtha
laden with chains". The African king Jugurtha
is shown before his captor, the Roman
general Gaius Marius. The procession was
held on January 1, 104 B.C.E. The crowds
carry booty, including a bust of the mother
goddess Cybele. The thirty-year-old Tiepolo
included his self-portrait among the 2igures
on the left.

One of the 2irst things I visit whenever I go to The Metropolitan

Museum of Art is The Triumph of Marius, a painting by Giovanni
Battista Tiepolo. It depicts the great Roman general Gaius
Marius standing in a beautiful chariot in Rome, and around him
are soldiers, recently captured slaves, treasures, and African
king Jugurtha, in chains, wearing gleaming armor and a
beautiful red cape. The painting seems to focus more on Jugurtha
than Marius, forcing you to appreciate the king's incredible
dignity. People are yelling, mocking him, and throwing things
at him, yet he does not let himself be overcome. It's a real
underdog story; Jugurtha, the loser, seems to overpower the
Romans with his powerful stare, and even as he walks off to his
gruesome death by strangulation, he keeps his dignity. He takes
control of the one thing he has, which is to choose the way he
shall meet his demiseas a king, not a coward.
