About Artwork: (1781) "After a friend boasted about the jewels she owned, Cornelia Africana, a widowed Roman matron and mother of Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus (known as the Gracchi), declared her sons to be her jewels. Here Cornelia holds the hands of her young sons, in contrast to the pearl necklace and expensive fabrics held by her friend. Like Peyron’s Belisarius receiving Hospitality from a Peasant whose Son looks on (also in our collection), this work is intended as a good example to show the importance of moral over material values. The background architecture echoes that in Peyron’s Belisarius, suggesting that even if that picture was not conceived with a companion picture in mind, the Cornelia may later have been made to hang with it. Both pictures were created as preparatory works for the final paintings in the Musée des Augustins,Toulouse." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
