In the painting "The Last Day of Corinth" Tony Robert-Fleury depicts quite ancient historical events. In 146 BC, the Greek city of Corinth fell into the hands of Rome. Tony Robert-Fleury depicts the moment when the Roman army entered the looted city. The women of Corinth, afraid of the fate that awaited them, hide at the foot of the statue of Athena. The work of the young artist, who spent three years creating a painting with an area of 24 m2, was awarded an honorary medal at the Salon. Critics, however, reacted to the picture rather harshly: "We look, we admire, but we do not admire" (K. Lemonnier). The painting was painted in 1879. The original painting is made with oil on canvas and has dimensions: height - 401 cm, width - 602 cm. It is now in the Orsay Museum.
