Burrhus, Nero's Tutor, Prostrating Himself before his Sovereign Lord
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Otto Wallgren that depicts a significant moment in ancient Roman history. The artwork showcases Sextus Afranius Burrus, the prefect of the Praetorian Guard and an advisor to Emperor Nero during the final years of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. In this 45x37 cm canvas displayed at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, we witness Burrus humbly bowing down before his young and powerful sovereign lord. The painting beautifully captures the classical attire of both figures – from their meticulously draped togas to their regal presence. The image not only portrays historical significance but also highlights themes such as loyalty, power dynamics, and mentorship within imperial Rome. It serves as a reminder of how influential advisors like Burrus played crucial roles in shaping emperors' decisions during times when they were still considered minors. Wallgren's attention to detail brings life to this scene from antiquity. Through skillful brushwork and masterful use of color, he transports viewers back to an era where statuesque figures ruled over vast territories with absolute authority. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Wallgren's artistic interpretation while immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of Roman history.
