The Return of Marcus Sextus

The Return of Marcus Sextus (French: Le Retour de Marcus Sextus) is an oil-on-canvas history painting by the French artist Pierre-Narcisse Guérin from 1799. It debuted at the Salon of 1799 and became one of the most celebrated works of the post-Terror era. Now housed in the Louvre, it shows a fictional Roman general returning home from exile only to discover that his wife is dead. Many contemporaries interpreted the work as an allegory of the return of émigrés after the Reign of Terror in Revolutionary France.
