The Triumph of Cicero

Triumph of Cicero (Il Trionfo di Cicerone) is a fresco measuring approximately 500x540 cm by Franciabigio and Alessandro Allori in the central hall of the villa medicea di Poggio a Caiano, Province of Prato, Italy. It dates to circa 1520 (first phase), and 1582 (second phase).

The work of art depicts a crucial episode in the life of the Roman statesman and orator Marcus Tullius Cicero, who exposed the conspiracy of Catiline, which threatened the stability of the Roman Republic. In the fresco, Cicero is depicted as the savior of the republic, someone who convinced the Senate to intervene and thus prevent a coup d'état. It emphasizes Cicero's role as defender of the rule of law and his victory over the conspirators.
