EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Édouard Alexandre de Max (1869-1924) in the role of Nero, the infamous Roman Emperor, during a performance at the Comédie-Française in Paris in 1920. Painted by renowned French artist Georges Alexandre Lucien Boisselier, the oil on wood portrait showcases the actor's intense gaze and regal demeanor, adorned with a laurel wreath and dressed in the traditional Roman attire. Nero, born as Claudius Domitius Caesar Nero or Claudius Drusus Germanicus, was known for his extravagant lifestyle, his persecution of Christians, and his involvement in the Great Fire of Rome. Boisselier expertly captures the dramatic essence of the character, transporting us back to ancient Rome through the captivating portrayal of de Max. The portrait is a testament to the rich heritage of French acting and the enduring legacy of the Comédie-Française, an esteemed institution in Parisian culture and history. The painting is currently housed at the Musée Carnavalet, a museum dedicated to the history of Paris, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the intersection of art, history, and drama.
