[Discussion] A question for anyone who has ever seen ‘The Roses of Heliogabalus’

General Discussion

I am working on a large study of this painting. Trust me to pick a painting that I cannot see in person (rather sad about that).

As I can’t see it in real life, I was wondering if anyone here had seen it. If so, what struck you about it - what stood out that I wouldn’t get from a digital scan?

Generally I’ve found that flat reproductions never quite do a thing justice - and I am curious what you noticed about the colours, brushstrokes, form of the real thing.

Cheers!
