What Nero Really Looked Like
Earlier this year, Spanish painters used accounts, busts, and sketches of Nero to construct an accurate portrayal of the Roman Emperor. From the chinstrap to the smile, they accurately replicated his features. In 64 A.D., Rome was destroyed by fire. What exactly did Nero do? He suited up, walked up to the roof, and began singing! He murdered himself before he could be executed, stating, “What an artist dies in me!”
What Nero Really Looked Like
Nefertiti
Nefertiti was Akhenaten’s Great Royal. This stucco-covered limestone bust of her is supposed to be the work of Thutmose of Amarna, Egypt. It was discovered in the artist’s workshop in 1912, and is thought to have been made in 1345 B.C. The Egyptian queen’s face was shown to be gorgeous and defined in the sculpture. Is this how she appeared in real life?
