Context: Tiepolo's masterful draftsmanship at its full maturity is demonstrated in this work in which the brilliant luminosity of wash and economy of means reached unsurpassed heights. More a fantasy that a factual account of the demise of the Roman philosopher ordered by Emperor nero to commit suicide, this unusual subject was deliberately drawn on a sheet of creased paper to heighten the sense of tragedy and immediacy.
