suburbanbeatnik: “The Death of Messalina” by Georges Rochegrosse is gorgeous on so many levels. Great use of space, very dark and dynamic. It really sucks you into the scene. The guy did his research too, with the scenery and costumes, but it doesn’t feel stagey or dry like a lot of Victorian academic work. I especially love the expression on the guy looking down on Messalina. -- source link
