A photorealistic reconstruction of what the Roman emperor Nero (r. 54-68 CE) may have looked like. Pictured alongside the reconstruction are the artworks and statuary used as references. From left to right and top to bottom these are the Capitoline Nero; the Glyptotek bust; the Uffizi Gallery's bust; and the painting by Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640 CE).
Based on contemporary and near contemporary descriptions, as well as archaeological and artistic evidence. Made using Photoshop and Artbreeder, a neural net tool.
