this feels like shitposting given the subject matter
'unpopular painter creates image of unpopular emperor's lavish and irresponsibly luxurious banquet'
*or empress' lavis and irresponsibly luxurious banquet!
it's hard to tell when the person in question has been dead for more than two millennia and was also systematically erased from history
and was also unpopular enough that people might be incentivised to lie
and roman historians were by and large full of shit anyway
(no such thing as an unbiased account of history? sure
but roman historians didn't even fucking try like c'mon guys)
not that later historians were any less shitty about her
also alma-tadema is the epitome of ~aethetic~ and i for one truly appreciate that
