Alexandre Cabanel completed this scene of Roman virtue, showing Cincinnatus called from his farm to save Rome. The composition exemplifies French academic painting with its polished technique and classical subject.
Cincinnatus represented the Roman ideal of duty over personal interest. Cabanel's rendering brings archaeological accuracy to moral instruction. It hangs at the Musée Fabre in Montpellier.
