Coriolan ved Roms belejring is a 1714 oil by Hendrick Krock, depicting Aeneas, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a man in armor standing on a platform, surrounded by people. He's holding a sword and shield, and there's a tent behind him. The people around him are dressed in old-fashioned clothes, and some are kneeling or sitting. There's a baby being held up, and a woman is reaching out to touch it. In the background, there are buildings and trees, and the sky is cloudy. The whole scene looks like it's from ancient times.
