The Roses of Heliogabalus – Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, 1888
Framed Canvas Reproduction

Immerse yourself in decadent beauty and deadly excess with The Roses of Heliogabalus, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema’s infamous 1888 portrayal of imperial cruelty veiled in blossoms. Based on an episode from the life of the Roman emperor Elagabalus, the scene depicts a lavish banquet turned execution, as guests are suffocated beneath an avalanche of rose petals dropped from a hidden ceiling.

Alma-Tadema spares no detail—marble columns, silk robes, silver goblets, and layered textures create a setting of opulence nearly overwhelming in its realism. The abundance of roses, painted from fresh deliveries daily, saturates the air with both beauty and dread. It is a chilling study in contrasts: grace and violence, serenity and suffocation, artifice and truth.

This museum-quality framed canvas reproduction captures the drama, precision, and morbid elegance of the original. Ideal for collectors of classical grandeur or symbolic decadence, The Roses of Heliogabalus turns spectacle into legend.

Canvas Classics uses premium materials at every step of production so that your artwork will last a lifetime with appropriate care.
