"The Emperor Vitellius, in a feigned oval" is a notable artwork by the Dutch painter Otto van Veen, also known as Otto Venius, who was active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This painting is part of a series of works that depict Roman emperors, showcasing Van Veen's interest in classical antiquity and his skill in portraiture. The painting features Aulus Vitellius Germanicus Augustus, who was Roman Emperor for a brief period in AD 69, a year that was marked by civil strife and known as the "Year of the Four Emperors."

In this work, Van Veen employs a trompe-l'œil technique to create the illusion of a three-dimensional oval frame, within which the figure of Emperor Vitellius is presented. The feigned oval adds depth to the painting and highlights the artist's mastery of perspective and his ability to blend reality with illusion. Vitellius is depicted in a manner that reflects both the grandeur and the tragedy of his short reign, with a focus on his individual character and the historical context of his rule.

Otto van Veen's painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical representation, as it contributes to the visual legacy of Roman emperors and the Renaissance fascination with classical themes. The work is a testament to Van Veen's influence in his time, particularly as he was the teacher of the renowned Peter Paul Rubens. "The Emperor Vitellius, in a feigned oval" is an important piece for scholars studying the intersection of art, history, and the revival of classical antiquity during the Renaissance period.
