"Vespasian Hearing from One of His Generals of the Taking of Jerusalem by Titus" is a historical painting by the renowned Dutch-born British artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Created in 1866, this work of art is an oil on canvas that depicts a scene from ancient Roman history. The painting illustrates the moment when the Roman Emperor Vespasian receives news from a general about the successful siege and capture of Jerusalem by his son Titus in 70 AD, which effectively ended the Jewish rebellion and led to the destruction of the Second Temple.

Alma-Tadema, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his fascination with the classical world, portrays Vespasian surrounded by his entourage, capturing the grandeur and formality of the Roman court. The artist's signature style is evident in the rich textures, architectural elements, and the use of marble and other luxurious materials that were characteristic of his work. The painting is a fine example of Alma-Tadema's ability to combine historical accuracy with dramatic narrative, bringing to life a pivotal moment in Roman and Jewish history.

The work is notable for its historical significance as well as its artistic merit. Alma-Tadema's dedication to historical accuracy is reflected in the careful depiction of Roman attire, military regalia, and the architectural environment. The painting also serves as a reflection of 19th-century European interest in the classical past and the ways in which historical events were interpreted through the lens of contemporary values and aesthetics.

"Vespasian Hearing from One of His Generals of the Taking of Jerusalem by Titus" is part of Alma-Tadema's broader body of work that contributed to the Victorian classical revival in painting. His works are celebrated for their clarity, detail, and use of light, and this painting is no exception. It remains an important example of Alma-Tadema's contribution to the genre of historical painting and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance.
