A beautiful framed print of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema’s famous Victorian artwork.
You can almost touch the cold surface of the marble columns, hear the rustling of the white linen, and smell the sweet perfume of the falling petals. The bacanal depicted in this painting is the story of the controversial emperor Heliogabalus (203-222 b.C.) who drowned his guests in rose petals. He lies above them, with an indifferent face, not showing any sign of empathy for those who lie dead beneath him.
