The Landing Place by Hubert Robert

[worldhistoryfacts]

Nero ended up killing his mother, Agrippina, for trying to control him. He first tried to have her die in a "boating accident,"as depicted in this nineteenth-century painting by Gustav Wertheimer:

Unfortunately for Nero, Agrippina survived the sinking. So then he had a soldier unceremoniously stab her to death.

There’s a whole genre of art that shows Nero viewing his mother’s dead body. Artists over the centuries have been fascinated with him at this moment, looking on as the enormity of his crime becomes clear.

Most of the medieval and early Renaissance versions of the story show him remorseless. In this illustration from the early 1400s, he indulges in a drink at his mother’s autopsy.

You can take a look at some of the versions that show Nero experiencing more human emotions at the link below:

A few more Greek vases painted onto rocks with posca markers. Hand for scale.

If you like these and want to see my others (there are lots), search my blog for "Greek" (or other relevant tags but I'm not sure I got them all under any in particular). Also there are a few in my Etsy (link in bio).
