"Proclaiming Claudius Emperor" is an oil on canvas painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, a Dutch-born painter known for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire, with spectacular attention to detail. The painting is dated 1867 and is one example of Alma-Tadema's early interest in Roman history, a recurring theme in his oeuvre.

In the painting, Claudius, who is noticeably reluctant, is literally dragged out of his hiding place behind a curtain to be proclaimed 'Protector of the Empire'. The scene depicts the moment of transition of power in Rome following the assassination of the emperor Caligula in AD 41, as per historical accounts.

While the assassination of Caligula is portrayed in chaotic tumult, Alma-Tadema's works are typically marked by serene calmness, lending an air of majesty to the solemn proclamation. The painting measures 57 cm × 44 cm, showcasing the opulent architectural settings, detailed with marble and gold, a signature aspect of Alma-Tadema's paintings.

It's held by a private collection and not on public display as of the most recent update. It's regarded as an important piece of Alma-Tadema's work, reflecting his fascination with Rome and the classical world, and his meticulous approach to historical accuracy and detail.
