OriginalThe Roses of Heliogabalus by the Anglo-Dutch artist Lawrence Alma-Tadema, 1888. The theme is based on a probably invented episode from the life of the Roman emperor Heliogabalus, taken from the Augustan History.
Reason
Found this high-res version accidentally, while searching for Edward Poynter. Perhaps time to roll this out.
