"The Romans of the Decadence (detail 2) 1847" is a detail from the larger painting "Romans in the Decadence of the Empire" by French artist Thomas Couture. This monumental work, measuring approximately 15 by 25 feet, is a critical commentary on contemporary French society through the lens of ancient Rome. The detail, often studied independently, focuses on a group of Romans indulging in excessive revelry, embodying the moral decay Couture perceived in his own time.

Couture's work is renowned for its intricate detail, dramatic use of light and shadow, and its moralistic theme. The painting was exhibited at the Salon of 1847, where it received mixed reviews. Some critics praised its technical mastery and moral message, while others criticized its pessimistic view of human nature and society. Despite these criticisms, the painting was purchased by the French state and is now housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

The painting's theme of decadence and moral decay was a common one in the mid-19th century, reflecting societal anxieties about the rapid changes brought about by industrialization and urbanization. Couture's depiction of the Romans as decadent and corrupt was a direct critique of contemporary French society, which he saw as similarly decadent and corrupt. This detail, with its focus on the revelers, encapsulates this theme and serves as a stark warning of the consequences of moral decay.
