EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Nero Pauses for a Drink during the Mutilation of His Mother's Body" transports us back to ancient Rome, revealing a moment of shocking brutality and eerie calmness. Created by an unknown artist in Paris, France around 1413-1415, this masterpiece is crafted with tempera colors, gold leaf, gold paint, and ink on parchment. In this haunting scene, Nero, infamous for his tyrannical reign as Roman Emperor from 54 to 68 AD, momentarily halts the gruesome act of mutilating his own mother's body. The composition captures the tension between savagery and indulgence as Nero raises a goblet filled with wine to his lips while surrounded by blood-stained tools of violence. The artist skillfully employs vibrant colors and intricate details to convey the opulence that coexists with cruelty. The golden hues symbolize Nero's decadence and power while contrasting sharply against the dark background that hints at impending doom. This artwork from the Liszt Collection serves as a chilling reminder of human nature's capacity for both beauty and horror. It invites viewers to ponder upon historical events shrouded in mystery and contemplate how such acts could be committed within one family
