Audience with Agrippa (1875). Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (Dutch, 1836-1912). Oil on panel. Dick Institute.A marble arch of vast proportions soars above the head of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, the emperor Augustus’s son-in-law and political henchman, and the atrium beyond can accommodate a truly urban crowd of retainers and clients, massed together so that individual faces and actions are not discernible. The Roman location is announced with utmost drama by the life-size statue of the emperor Augustus. -- source link
