About This Design

The Remorse of Nero After the Murder of His Mother Poster

The Remorse of Nero After the Murder of His Mother Poster

In “The Remorse of Nero After the Murder of His Mother,” John William Waterhouse captures a moment of heavy psychological aftermath rather than the act itself. The scene is set in a quiet, marble interior that feels cold and ceremonial, with classical architecture framing the figure like a stage. Nero lies stretched across a couch in a vivid red garment, his body slack and his face tense, as if the weight of what he has done has finally settled into his bones. The rich fabric folds and the warm light draw the eye toward him, but they also heighten the contrast between luxury and inner collapse. Waterhouse turns imperial power into something fragile and human. The opulent surroundings suggest authority, wealth, and control, yet Nero’s posture reads as restless, exhausted, and trapped inside his own mind. The stillness of the room becomes its own kind of judgment, making the silence feel louder than any crowd. It is a painting about guilt that cannot be escaped, where grandeur offers no protection from conscience.

I originally ordered this print in a larger size but was not pleased with the clarity of it. When I contacted Zazzle, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I was able to reorder the print in a smaller size and it was shipped to me within a couple of weeks. The print was packaged well to ensure there was no damage during transit (Eco friendly, too!), and I am really pleased with it. I am so grateful to the customer service team for the professional way they handled my order. I had this printed on matt finish card and I was really pleased with the quality. The colours were rich and the image sharp.
