Boudica's Revolt: a painting of Boudica in a chariot with her daughters, spear raised, leading a huge army of Britons across a hillside
Boudica's Revoltc. AD 60
Britannia · c. AD 60

The Queen of the Iceni Rides Out

Boudica's revolt began with an injustice. When Prasutagus, king of the Iceni in what is now East Anglia, died around AD 60, he left his kingdom jointly to his two daughters and the emperor Nero, hoping to protect his family. Instead, Tacitus writes, Roman officials plundered the kingdom, Boudica was flogged and her daughters were raped. The Iceni rose, joined by the Trinovantes, while the governor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus was away campaigning on the island of Mona, now Anglesey.

The rebels burned Camulodunum (Colchester), Londinium (London) and Verulamium (St Albans), and Tacitus puts the dead at some seventy thousand. Suetonius Paulinus gathered about ten thousand men and chose his ground for the final battle, at a site still unknown. Before the fighting, Tacitus says, Boudica drove among the tribes in a chariot with her daughters before her. Roman discipline prevailed, and Tacitus reports a claim that nearly eighty thousand Britons fell. Boudica died soon after: by poison according to Tacitus, by illness according to Cassius Dio.

The piece

The painting follows Dio's description closely: a tall woman with a great mass of red-gold hair, a heavy gold torc, a many-colored tunic and a cloak, holding a spear. The chariot cuts diagonally across the picture, its two horses straining forward, and the whole host seems to move with it. Look past her shoulder to the far valley, where a thin line of Roman soldiers waits beside the river.

Above a sofa or bed, art looks best at about two-thirds of the furniture's width, hung 8 to 10 inches above it.
