Reproductie van Locuste essaye, en présence de Néron, le poison préparé pour Britanicus door Joseph-Noël Sylvestre before 1876

This is a reproduction of a black and white photograph created by Charles Michelez, a French artist working in the 19th century. The image depicts a scene from a historical event: the poisoning of Britannicus by Nero. Britannicus is depicted as a reclining figure, seemingly overcome, with a group of figures clustered around him. The image captures the somber, dramatic mood of the scene. The artist uses contrasting light and shadow to create a sense of depth and mystery, contributing to the overall impact of the artwork.
