Item description

Old Italian painting from the 18th century. Oil painting on canvas depicting the death of Poppaea. Legend has it that Emperor Nero, after a violent quarrel, killed his wife with a kick in the abdomen. Poppaea was pregnant with his second son and according to some historians died in childbirth instead. A painting of exceptional size and impact, rich in characters and of excellent dynamism, for antique dealers, interior decorators and collectors of historical paintings of the high period. Lacking a frame, this work has undergone conservative restoration, re-staining, frame replacement and colour repainting in places. Ideal painting for a salon or studio, fabulous decor. In good condition with some signs of time.
